Pros

- Decent breadth of challenging opportunities (multiple industries, types of work), considering size (50-100 employees) - Travel/work-life balance is much better than other consulting firms (90% of work is done in DFW area) - Heavy emphasis on "shared success" is a fresh of breath air compared to standard cut-throat consulting stereotype (e.g. repetitive business processes recognize others for their hard work and sharing of knowledge on projects) - Senior management has great experience and conducts themselves with integrity and respect for others - Fun, supportive atmosphere among consultants

Cons

- Growth opportunities can be somewhat limited if projects are tough to come by (firm is still small, so ideal clout level to easily win projects is still not there yet) - Much heavier emphasis on technology-related projects when compared to a standard business management / strategy consulting firm - Training is better than it's been in previous years, but still not near same standard as industry leaders

Sendero Response

Thanks for the review! We are glad you find so many aspects of working at Sendero to be positive. The way we have approached business development since our inception in 2004 has been about building and maintaining working relationships. We find that this natural approach eliminates the stress to “sell” and leads to projects derived from previous working relationships. We currently have less than 8% of our consultants “unstaffed” which is the result of numerous referrals and repeat clients.
