Proxima reviews

To say Management overpromises and underdelivers would be a massive understatement. Management is very manipulative, pitching long term growth potential and exciting strategic work. The reality is that Proxima performs internal procurement staff augmentation and short term indirect cost reduction work. They also treat long term and highly rated VPs the same as a first year analyst in that everyone is disposable regardless of performance if it helps cut cost to boost metrics for the Private Equity investors. The majority of the US work is also with two clients and there is significant risk to the future pipeline. Management continues to brag about positive sales leads which seem to never materialize into actual work.

Proxima has an inherent issue that has yet to be addressed - the selling point and headline is "world leading procurement and supply chain consultancy" yet nothing that is achieved or sold is world class. The supply chain practice is in its infancy and has lost key members over the past six-months, client work is sold as strategic and yet most work actually accomplished is very tactical and transactional, and leadership is not in-tune or connected to the employees and their desire for growth.
