Pros

Huron has some solid talent, acquired through acquisitions.

Cons

- The client-centric, employee-centric culture that existed at our company before it was acquired by Huron is not non-existent. It's now all about the bottom-line, and an every-man-for-himself environment. Salespeople looking out for salespeople. Partners looking out for partners. Senior and Junior delivery personnel trying to stick together with difficulty. - Healthcare practice, which is the majority of the business is tanking. The stock price has plummeted (by over 50%) in 6 months, which turns stock-based compensation into a penalty, and leads to massive cost-cutting measures impacting other areas of the business, also distracting leadership from high-performing areas. Also, there is significant discontent within the ranks of the company (I mean...they have layoffs every quarter), so I'm skeptical of the other review on the site. This is one of the main reasons I felt compelled to write a review.

Pros

Nice office environment. Good benefits. Smart colleagues.

Cons

Consulting practice leaders treat Corporate functions as personal servants and IT is at the bottom of the pile. Consultants travel around the country telling people to implement new software, have a real IT strategy while the company systems are an antiquated concoction from the 1990s. IT turnover is continuous with the best people leaving (or being let go), with other people getting promoted into roles they don't have the skills or aptitude for. IT leadership skills are not valued as much as technical skills - even at high levels of the organization.
