Good place for managers — design takes a backseat - Design Consultant LiquidHub Employee Review

Pros

Smart colleagues, big name clients, some good travel opportunities

Cons

Management is very clique-y and mostly concentrated on selling work or pleasing client stakeholders, often over-promising on deliverables, ignoring scope, and leaving 1–2 entry level employees to pick up the pieces. Everything is always last minute and workload distribution between researchers and designers is highly unbalanced. Absolutely no mentorship. As a design consultant, I was expected to do EVERYTHING with very little support — everything from formatting layouts to conducting UX research to to building prototypes to creating final deliverables for development. Senior employees spend much of their time in meetings discussing "process" and rarely roll up their sleeves and pitch in with actual guidance or insight — but they will quickly take your work and own it if it's well received by clients.

Pros

- Decent salary and benefits, although LH makes a bundle on the billable hours margins. Depending on who you work for, the schedule is fairly flexible. - The quarterly hours bonus is a nice perk. - The employees appear to be well qualified with strong experience and are generally helpful and professional. I didn't notice a cut throat environment at all.

Cons

- They don't know whether they are a staffing company or a management consulting company. Business Development and Sales are completely disconnected from the practice partners and managing directors. - If you are on a project and billing, you are okay for as long as you are billing. However, you have no control or visibility into the viability of the contract with the customer. If the customer cuts the contract, you are on the bench and sent wherever you are told....or you are walked out the door with 2 weeks' severance. You have no control over your destiny there, and you have no choice over which clients you serve (or where those clients are located). - As a professional, you are better off contracting as an independent contractor or corp to corp with LiquidHub or another staffing agency, rather than trying to grow your career with LiquidHub. LiquidHub doesn't want employees looking to grow their careers and become leaders. It wants billable hours and a high margin on those billable hours That's all.
