Pros

Long View prides itself on offering career progression and work-life balance - which (in my experience) they deliver on. I love the staff, and am usually happy to go to work int he morning.

Cons

In my opinion Long View is Top Heavy. I feel like we are constantly tightening our belts, cracking down on expenses, and shortening leashes - yet at the same time they are constantly promoting senior leadership. The average consultant feels underpaid (compared to market value), yet there are more than 1 executive per 100 employees. And that's not counting the numerous "Directors" and "Managers" do. We are also Internal role heavy. In the past year I have seen a number of internal support teams grow significantly, but their contribution hasn't (People Services, Resourcing, Finance, etc.) These are cost centers that don't earn any profit for the company.

Pros

Some really great organic cultural elements. Staff driven wellness committee, soccer team, corporate challenge etc. Can be a fun place to work. Lots of great people work at Long View,sadly lots of great people leave Long View

Cons

Exec is out of touch with staff. Company communication is hit and miss. Seems like high turnover but 'they' say everything is great. Mixed messages. Old Boys club for sure. Check out the Exec page on the site. Pretty male and pretty white. Diversity and gender don't seem like a concern. Incentives are a joke, never calculated the same way twice.

Pros

Interesting work, phenomenal technical depth and collaborative integrity among peers, great people at many layers. Truly enjoyed all of the events including an incredible holiday party held at Breckenridge. Still consider many people working there very close friends and hope they see me in the same light.

Cons

Failure to execute on one of the most intriguing advertised benefits: career-life planning. Network Consultant Team lead, while technically savvy and quick to respond to core networking skills assistance/advice/requests, lacks situational awareness with clients and seems inept at appreciating, or even intimidated by, extremely strong consultants on his team.
