High pay, fast burnout - Associate Huron Consulting Group Employee Review

Pros

- Pays well - Provides opportunities to develop entirely new skill sets quickly - Flexible PTO means you can take time off as much as and whenever you want, as long as your manager approves it - Stellar benefits package - Company pays your cell phone expenses

Cons

- Burnout; expected 45-50 hrs/wk min (40 hrs/wk + 5-10 hours of "practice development"). - In essence, you are permanently on-call employee. Work calls and emails with urgent requests can come at any hour; hard to justify protecting your time when Huron pays for your cell service - Late nights and weekend work are often unavoidable during busy periods, as are boredom and feelings of disconnectedness during quiet periods - "Bro culture" is present in pockets; can be a challenging environment for introverts and females to work in - Manager quality ranges widely; a bad manager running a project that is several months long is exhausting no matter how strong your work ethic is - Hard to take full advantage of your stellar benefits due to having little time - Travel can be brutal, many times lasting Mon-Thurs

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
