Pros

Some of the staff are great to work with on engagements and around the office.

Cons

HIG Capital acquired the company several months ago. Sr. Management is now focused on acquisitions and dollar growth. Culture is quickly being eroded. They even brought in a consulting firm (yes, we are consultants) to identify why we are loosing the culture.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate understanding your perspective on Riveron’s recent transaction with HIG Capital. Culture is top of mind for us as one of the reasons HIG wanted to work with Riveron is our unique culture. Knowing that growth always brings change, we engaged outside consultants for the purpose having fresh eyes identify what makes our culture unique and how we can retain it through periods of growth. If you have unaddressed concerns, please contact your PA, PA Family Lead, Practice/Market Lead, or HR as appropriate. We hope to promptly resolve any matters you may have.

Pros

Decent swag and they have education stipends. Allows remote work which was very appreciated.

Cons

Too political and heavy on finger-pointing rather than collaboration. Blame often falls on inexperienced staff for issues beyond their control, while "who you know" (especially in the Texas office) dictates accountability. Additionally, the US team’s subconscious bias toward the India team creates a counterproductive and unwelcome environment. It ultimately feels like a fend-for-yourself environment. When performance is evaluated, support is limited unless you’ve already proven you can meet management’s demanding, often unrealistic, expectations. This makes it especially difficult for early-career professionals to learn and grow. The focus tends to be more on maximizing billable hours than on development or quality of work. In some cases, there has even been pressure from multiple managers to inflate timesheet entries to improve the appearance of performance and increase client billing, despite work being completed efficiently. These expectations were consistently communicated verbally rather than documented, raising serious ethical concerns and making the situation even more discouraging.
