Pros

CEO is very genuine. Knowledgable, but also personable. Overall benefits are solid Best infrastructure for employee training I've seen at any company (online programs, in house class led, external class led, conferences, etc.) Very proactive about community involvement

Cons

Comp is often behind the curve by a year (they like to baseline against industry averages, but that means they only have last year's numbers). Despite efforts to get away from "time in grade" expectations, they are still very much swayed by it It's a consulting organization, so if you're not a consultant, expect some of the systems to treat you as an afterthought. Higher level ranks (Senior Director, Managing Director) really expect you to be in a selling role, which is problematic for roles that need top talent, but aren't customer facing. It has the bureaucracy of a much larger company, and subsequently can't get out of its own way sometimes. In the balance between managing the numbers and managing the people, the numbers seems to be getting increasing sway - it's leading to a less personable company than it used to be.

Pros

Huron provides excellent learning opportunities and robust leadership training. The environment offers plenty of excitement, and the compensation and benefits packages feel fair. I also greatly appreciated the company's culture around community involvement, which allowed me to give back locally.

Cons

While the day-to-day work can be engaging, the organization severely stumbles when it comes to employee support and compliance. Specifically, management failed to go through the ADA good faith interactive process when accommodations were required. Furthermore, there is a troubling internal culture where calling out bad practices—even when those practices could directly hurt clients—results in being cut out rather than heard.
