Pros

Intelligent and helpful colleagues Some interesting client engagements Opens doors for future opportunities at bigger companies

Cons

Management loves to furlough employees without good reason, rather than actually work to mitigate client risk. Don’t work at Proxima if you plan to be gainfully employed.

Short term focused management who treats employees like temp labor

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

None - Salary and benefits appear in line with market until you realize that all positions are viewed as temporary contractors, where management will furlough or terminate entire engagement teams if a client does not renew their SOW

Cons

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.

People are what make Proxima so special

Pros

The people are what make Proxima so special. This is pretty important since you’ll be spending lots of time with them on the ground working on client projects. Pay well above average, unlimited PTO, beautiful downtown Chicago office.

Cons

Management has seen significant growth very quickly, and has been reactive to those changes. I bet they have put in contingency plans in case they lose a client workstream in the future.
