Pros

You'll be directly in contact with the client and will be running meetings within a few months of starting

Cons

-Multiple layoffs followed by aggressive hiring practices afterwards. They were even trying to rehire back people they had just laid off a few months before. A company should have the foresight to plan for tough months without having to lay off hundreds of people, only to rehire them / hire new graduates who will work for less. - Quality of life depends on the manager you work for and his/her opinions on work life balance. My team was expected to work a full day, take an hour for dinner/workout, then continue to work until midnight. There was also an expectation to work on the weekends. Repeat indefinitely. Burnout was common. On the other hand, you had people sitting on the bench waiting to get staffed, who were getting paid for doing nothing. - Heavy drinking culture- have heard this from colleagues who traveled as well as ones based in the offices. - Huron was billed as a consulting firm with better hours than your typical consulting firm, which was supposed to justify the lower compensation. We were working the same hours as those consulting firms, just without the added pay

Pros

Diversity, values employees, good company culture, interesting work

Cons

Relatively flat leadership structure can be a pro or a con, sometimes would be more useful to be more unified with toolset and project workflow. Nothing major for sure

Pros

Strong, motivated teams — most colleagues are talented, hardworking, and genuinely good to work with. Collaborative culture at the team level, even when leadership falls short. Exposure to meaningful healthcare IT work and client-facing experience

Cons

Leadership on EHR has been a significant weak point, with poor decision-making that’s eroded staff confidence. Whistleblowing and internal escalation processes don’t appear to be taken seriously — concerns raised don’t lead to meaningful action. Promotions often feel driven by favoritism rather than merit or performance, which undermines morale and trust in the process
