Pros

Everyone here is top caliber talent. The company health is publicly shared with employees, usually on a quarterly basis. Most consultants do a good job of self-organizing social events, and company-sponsored events are frequent. You can easily stay in touch with your local base.

Cons

Mentors are often too busy to regularly meet because the entire firm is working insane hours. Also, because mentors are hit and miss, you might end up with a bad one. Zero bonus compensation, no comp time, and no opportunity to increase your salary outside of yearly promotions (assuming you even get approved for a promotion in the first place). The company seems to be structured around the lower consulting levels working at high bill rates for insane hours each week. They've pretty much had to do layoffs every couple of years. Most people leave and go on to bigger and better jobs when Pariveda determines that they no longer fit the mold. You have little to no choice in what kind of project you work on. If your number is up and you're available, you get slotted. The company cares more about keeping you billing than what you want in your career, at least from this perspective.

Pros

Pariveda is like the consulting firms of old where they would hire smart young people and steward their careers toward the executive level. Pariveda really cares about their people. All conversations about strategy begin with the question, "What is the right thing for our people?". Pariveda only hires folks that fit their culture and they are very picky about it. It's refreshing to work at a company that's not interested in diluting the talent pool. The work is challenging and engaging. Pariveda is focused on finding projects that fit their unique value proposition and keep their people engaged. The benefits are very strong and salaries are directly tied to your level in the company. If you want to make more, then you need to meet the requirements set out in the Expectations Framework and get promoted.

Cons

Pariveda is a very challenging environment. If you are used to remaining in your comfort zone and not accustomed to being challenged regularly and asked to do things that are difficult, Pariveda is not the place for you. Pariveda is attempting to build future leaders very quickly, which means you will have to work hard, network in your city, and perform community service. As such, Pariveda isn't for everyone.
