LiquidHub reviews

Never felt valued and was cut from the bench. Consultants around me were placed, like they skipped over me on purpose. I made a high salary comparatively, and they charged companies 3x what I was bringing home. That is robbery, not consulting. No help with career direction. Put on assignments far away from home with no expense compensation. Brassington family are questionable in the ethics department. A lot of pressure to bill 40 hours a week. No promotions after 3 years of dedication. Went through 6 managers in that time and saw a lot of talent walk out the door. Think twice before signing on at this body shop that calls itself a "Practice" provider if you value the direction of your career. No progressive development of employee consultants.

I'll start by saying I was not fired and left on my own accord. No specific "event" happened to make me disgruntled and write a review in the heat of emotion, this is simply my observation: Should have seen the red flag when the interview process consisted of one phonecall and one interview. They barely knew who I was or what I was capable of when they hired me, which to me reflects the amount of significance and value they hold on the people and quality they bring in (not a lot). If you're looking to get into consulting, especially management consulting, this is not the place. Alot of projects are "plug and chug" and make you feel like you're just a body in a seat. This is much, much more staff aug than actual consulting. There is also a lot of internal disorganization and fragmentation with who you report to and how interested anyone above you is in your work. I could have been doing headstands all day and no one would have noticed. All in all, they just don't seem to know how to fully leverage the power of the people they have and instead treat them as another body in a chair to get them billable hours. Its just not a stimulating culture to work in if you want to do true consulting. I voiced repeatedly to various managers that I was being underutilized for my skillset. Not requesting more money or a higher title, simply letting them know I had experience to offer beyond the VERY simple, college level work I was doing with 8 years of experience. No one ever cared. To me that again shows they don't care about leveraging the power of their people, but just looking at them as filling a seat and filling in timesheets to get that revenue. Furthermore, one of my clients for my project had vastly overestimated the amount of work, skill and time my role would take, I communicated this to my manager, yet my manager informed me to just keep pretending to be busy....not the way I like to do business as a consultant. Overall never felt like I was helping clients, or my career, and connecting to them & my work via quality, thought provoking relationships. Everything was very transaction, very hollow, very mechanical and very numbers driven in its culture.
