The definition of a mixed bag - Associate Huron Consulting Group Employee Review

Pros

It's the luck of the draw, but you may get to work with some fantastic clients and colleagues. You also get to keep the Amex points you rack up on the corporate card, though that's less important when not traveling. Benefits are adequate - 401k match fully vesting after 2 years (longer than you might think) and good health insurance options, but the stock ownership plan is overly restrictive.

Cons

This is still consulting, and you might be unlucky and be stuck with scatterbrained clients and micromanaging directors. Work/life balance is hit or miss. Client work always comes first. Have a demanding client? Or a demanding director? Prepare to work 60+ hours a week for months. Diversity at Huron is a joke - the company is 80%+ white, and leadership is primarily white and male. Promotions seem to come easier to those who are white males as well. Compensation is well below other management consulting firms. On a separate but related note, management has not been receptive to calls for a comprehensive compensation equity review.

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

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.
