Pros

It's a place where if you have talent and produce for them you will be noticed. The company has grown, but not so much were individual efforts are lost on management. There is a focus on doing things the Rivel way, which can cut both ways, but generally the things they are asking for are not out of line with what is generally expected in a consulting environment. Culture is important to them evident by efforts to celebrate each other's successes. Keeping the culture is a current challenge, yielding people and purpose committees, mentorship programs and plenty of employee surveys. Employee feedback seems to be heeded. Adapted to the "new normal" fairly well with flex work from home policies.

Cons

Work loads and the level of responsibility can be intense across all divisions. There seems to be a lot of rules, oversight and focus on little things. The latter can be tiresome when you are dealing with the former and producing.

Pros

- Work-life balance is generally respected. - Most people are lovely, at least to your face. - Respectable client list.

Cons

- The culture is hollow. It's mostly talk with little to no follow-through. - The company entered a tailspin with cascading problems after the Covid bump peaked. Unrealistic growth expectations lead to over-hiring and subsequently several rounds of layoffs. - Management re-orgs the company about every 9 months, creating confusion while shuffling responsibilities/expectations. - New initiatives of questionable value are quickly introduced and soon forgotten or ignored. - The upper management group has been there for many years and is far too comfortable with itself. Poor outcomes are attributed to direct reports. - Most of the most talented individuals recognize the dog and pony show and move on for better opportunities/salaries elsewhere.
