Pros

Nice people for most part, especially consultants at manager level and below. Nice office spaces in every city I visited. Fun company events, a lot of money put into these. Cell phone reimbursement each month. A lot of Management team was recently replaced, they seem to be pretty competent.

Cons

Does not value employees as well as they claim. They didn't pay any sort of retention bonuses during Covid or any other seasonal bonuses, nor do they pay competitive salaries to other firms at this time. This has lead to a mass exodus of top talent from the firm. I heard this was an employee-first company before I joined but those days are long gone. To echo another previous post, I usually got hassled for taking PTO even though you get a good amount of days. When you leave, they don't pay out your accrued PTO you were never able to use. Culture has become almost non-existent at this point for many. I question if any of the generic 5 star reviews on here are real. Overall, the competent consultants are overloaded and the rest are green consultants who probably were hired a level too high (or should not have been at all).

Thanks for taking the time to weigh in with feedback, which helps make Riveron a better place for our people. Last year, we provided thank you bonuses multiple times (in addition to our annual bonus cycle) to the majority of our client-serving employees based on utilization. We are continuing to evaluate ways to recognize and thank people for the work they do, and all options are on the table. Our PTO policy reflects state regulations and employees are paid accordingly for unused time. We are here if you would like to discuss these or any other concerns.

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.
