Pros

The interview process is very involved which results in us hiring very smart, talented, and passionate people. The whole company is created around developing you to your fullest potential and the work we do, our training, revolves around that. It shows the employee that they care about us more than profits and other material things. The benefits package is world-class so we do not have to worry about things outside of work and developing ourselves, again showing the commitment to their employees.

Cons

The career progression is really good but it does not give you the ability to advance faster than the stated career progression. For example if I am a top performing employee in the earlier stages I cannot try to interview for manager without going through the progressions, in an industry job you might be able to promote quicker if you are a top performer.

Thank you for your feedback! We are designed for talent development and retention. It creates enormous value for our clients -- higher quality outcomes for lower total cost. In theory, it is possible for an exceptional talent among very talented people to "skip" level in early career with some organizations once during their employment. Most people need to quit their current employers to "skip" a level, typically followed by a slower progress following their move. These opportunities happen relatively rarely. We are designed to advance talented individuals in a consistently rapid fashion. We have well over a decade long track record to prove it. In an average year, about half our employees are promoted. And the average time at level is just over one year. For individuals seeking promotion, on average it is typically faster and more financially rewarding to stay with our firm and be promoted than quit for a "skip" level move. Over the course of a career the cumulative advantage of staying tends to be overwhelming in favor of our talent development system. And we know we can become even better for out employees and clients.

Pros

Pariveda is a wonderful place to work! Pariveda takes great care in developing its employees. The focus of the company is career development so the expectations are very clear on how to get promoted and the process for promotions are very transparent. As soon as you start at Pariveda you are given a mentor who is tasked with helping you get promoted and developing your career at Pariveda. The work Pariveda gets for consultants is very interesting and relevant. They do a great job at getting projects that are challenging and cutting edge. I always feel like I am staying up to date on a lot of relevant technology stacks just by working on my projects (e.g. NodeJS, Java Spring, Angular, etc).

Cons

Salary is not as competitive at Pariveda as it is at other companies for the same type of work. This is only true for some markets where there is a high concentration of tech opportunities (e.g. San Francisco). Pariveda focuses and emphasizes career development a lot but does not have salaries that properly fit cost of living and average salary for position in some markets (e.g. San Francisco).

Pros

Pariveda only hires for full time, salaried positions. There is little national travel (only for training really) and the consultants spend a majority of their time at the local client site. Everyone receives a semi-annual and annual review like clockwork and there is a structured mentoring program in place. I believe that I had my mentor paired up with me within the first 3 days of employment. What’s new for me, and I haven’t seen at the other companies that I’ve worked for is that there are company paid premiums for healthcare/dental, and they matching your 401k starting day 1! No vesting over however-many years.

Cons

This job is not for everyone. If you're someone who wants to be comfortable in a role for a while, you will find that Pariveda is a better environment for people that want to remain on the fast track and continue to grow in their career and get promoted every 12-18mo's.
