Pros

Pariveda hires hardworking, intelligent, savvy, interesting, self driven individuals that are encouraged to shine bright in the projects they work on. As a company, Pariveda fully commits itself to growing people as both an employee and as an individual. There are not many companies that find value in developing soft skills, nonetheless turning those traits into valuable tools that can be used in business. Everyone who works here has a different set of valuable skills or insights, and is encouraged to be their best possible version of themselves both as a leader and team player. In short, Pariveda is an absolutely wonderful place to grow.

Cons

This is not necessarily a 'con', but Pariveda holds a serious commitment to transparency, honesty, and constructive feedback. Everyone in the company is assigned a mentor, career adviser, and is reviewed every six months. This aspect can be a little scary if you're not used to this kind of engagement, and constructive feedback isn't always easy to hear especially if you are not naturally introspective.

Pros

Pariveda is as employee centric of a firm as you will find. The company structure was clearly well thought out from the beginning, with the extremely clear career path and expectations framework. If you have the capability and desire to grow into a well-rounded consultant while not sacrificing your technical skills, then this is the place for you. Pariveda helps their people grow quickly through the technical lead and manager ranks by focusing mostly on small team projects to ensure a variety of experience (industry, technology, teammates, etc.) to maximize on the job learning opportunities. Because the company trusts its people to be able to learn technical details quickly, most of the training you will get internally is geared towards giving you frameworks to organize your thinking and actions about topics such as small team leadership, project management, client relationship management, developing new skills, etc. Also, as you grow quickly, you'll be getting a 10% or 20% raise every year (14 or 24% when they do a cost of living adjustment), with a (relatively small) company contribution to your Employee Stock Ownership Plan as a bonus.

Cons

They expect a lot from you, especially as you move through the manager and principal ranks, requiring you to learn and become proficient in several new sets of skills (project management, team leadership, mentoring, executive presence, etc.) over a couple of years. This means that you will likely have to put in time above your traditional 9-5 to manage your workload. It's not a 70 hour work week, but 45-50 is expected and normal. Starting with the Manager to Principal promotion, you are required to complete a "Point of View" presentation, which is sort of like a Master's Thesis. This is in addition to your normal responsibilities of leading an important client project (and for many people raising young children). This has definitely become a choke point in the growth path. Also, like all consulting work, your experience may very based on the project you are assigned to. Because of the local model, some clients may be in the "same city" as you but actually be an hour or more from where you live.
