Pros

Great individual contributor culture; good pay; decent benefits; successful, long-term consulting firm; remote opportunities; company overall has been charitable; multiple locations - Chicago, Boston, Columbus, etc.; greater opportunities now that company has been acquired by RINA.

Cons

good pay until your team sales are down at which point high salary = under scrutiny; same good old boys club in upper management and executives; middle management weak and insecure (think ghosting, exclusion, lack of leadership skills, lacking communication); too numbers-focused vs attention to the real issues that cause problems; vacation allocation is mediocre; no sick time (must use PTO); low raises; career paths are ill-defined (if at all defined) in some areas; lack of empowerment for lower-level employees; pockets of high turnover;

Optimistic Outlook

Pros

Patrick has recently been acquired by Rina Consulting. This transition marks an important moment for the company as Rina has access to more capital and diverse projects than previous. The new company is also taking steps to improve culture and clean up some of the previous issues that occurred under leadership for the last few years. The company has retained much of its talent and the doers and support staff are great to work with. It will take some time, but under Rina leadership the outlook is positive.

Cons

- the company has experienced high turnover due to poor leadership prior to the acquisition. This has created undue stress to those remaining to continue to provide the same level of care and delivery as compared to previous. - benefits could be better, however most times the base compensation offsets what is lacking. - while the long term future looks optimistic, there are bound to be growing pains in the short term.
