Pros

Teamwork is core to how we work. However, one of best things about Pariveda is that promotions are based on the individual’s ability and not on "roles". No one needs to wait for an opening to move up. You'll always be challenged to grow into the next level and you'll achieve it at your pace. You truly get out what you put in.

Cons

Pariveda is about being a well-rounded consultant. Having the breadth and depth required at every level means you are always building new tools and that's not the norm everywhere. Since you are always growing into the next level for yourself, your always working to master new skills, and while continuous learning has many rewards, it requires perseverance and a humility that isn't required at other firms.

Pros

This is a great place for someone right out of college with no experience in the corporate world.

Cons

The company is over structured with expectations that are far to over structured. In theory the expectations work but in practice, it takes to much focus away from focusing on client projects. The company also boasts profit sharing and an esop plan but there has been no profit sharing for years. The esop takes 5 years to vest and since the company is privately held, the pricing of shares is obkective. Moreover, the cost of running an esop probably eats away the profit that ccould be shared wiyh employees. It is more or less a way for management to liquidate their ownership and cash out (they also receive esop). I found this quite sketchy. The culture is also over developed. As I said earlier, you have to drink the punch to succeed. As for advancement, there's plenty of linear growth. However, those who excel cannot skip a level. As for pay, the pay scale is flat for all offices. An associate in Dallas makes the same salary as someone in Chicago or DC which have much hire cost of living. This alone is the ultimate injustice to those working in more costly areas. The senior management does not even acknowledge those differences.
