Good place to start your career...not the place for experienced hires.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent place to start after college to gain technical and professional skills. Young and fun start-up environment that emphasizes good team culture. Competitive salary, benefits, and generous PTO policy

Cons

This is a consulting company first and technology company second. Terrible work/life balance with consultants calling analysts at all hours of the morning and night. No technical career advancement after Associate with no career paths other than corporate management. Too many managers and directors that do not act with integrity (good employees from all types of positions were fired for not toeing the line). Constant fear of being blamed for even the smallest of problems if a consultant or client reported issues. Roles weren't clearly defined and so you may do multiple things from a traditional BSA role to a developer/QA and client relationship owner all at the same time. Legacy software is incredibly outdated (1990s) and utilizes old code that has never been updated consistently across all clients. No effort made to standardize anything from a technical standpoint. Knowledge management is severely lacking (internal wiki is a joke). Software development processes lacking as a whole without proper development team or industry development best practices. Consultants drive all work and don't care about following proper development protocol. Company bends over for clients by incurring technical debt which is never repaid and leads to massive problems for clients in the long run resulting in extreme overhead.

decent company to start at

Pros

The benefits package is excellent for a company this size. PTO is good if you can use it. Lots of flexibility as far as schedule and being physically present in the office, lots of work from home opportunities (could also be a con, as you are expected to work from home after-hours). If you're in the right group and know the right people, you will have a decent career. Young coworkers. Very diverse workforce.

Cons

Sinking ship. OBSCENELY high turnover. Pay low for lower-level employees. Heavy favoritism. Employees are often clueless of what is going on in other parts of the company or even their own division. Company acts like it is 10x bigger. They seem to waste a lot of money on expenses (especially higher up) but any spending lower-level employees do "is coming out of your bonus." Extreme favoritism toward healthcare group. PAINFULLY corporate. Feel like there is such a disconnect between upper-level management and lower-level employees in clout, pay, respect, etc. Collaboration between business units (which could be incredibly beneficial and a huge offering) is completely nonexistent. A LOT of self-promotion about how great they are and how great they treat their employees...to the point that it is annoying, especially since it is mostly lip-service. Bonuses are a joke. If you aren't in Chicago, you may as well not exist. Corners are cut in the worst places.

Pros

-Generous PTO policy. -Great people - intelligent co-workers . -Company has strong community involvement.

Cons

-A company that looks good on paper, but disappoints once you're actually in the doors. It's a good place to start your career, but not a place worth staying. -The people are great, but good talent is often leaving. -Managers are weak and lack leadership. -The culture that once made the compay great is fading. -Huron is growing and is still trying to figure out who they want to be. Change isn't managed well and performance expectations are often unrealistic and not consistent across groups.
