      Consultants Burn Out

      Associate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great culture, incredibly smart people who love what they do and will take time to share their passion with you Easy to get your hands on a lot of different technologies

      Cons

      Disorganized Travel is going to be as close to 100% as they can manage, no matter what they promise you in the interview. Also, you often won't be notified of required travel until the Thursday or Friday before. If you're okay with that good luck, but burn out is high. You'll spend at least 40 hours a week working on client projects, plus extra time for internal projects and management. Counting travel time, be prepared to devote 60-70 hours a week every week.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good place to pick up new skills

      Cons

      Global sales leaders are difficult to work with and spend more time on internal politics than on running the company. Good luck getting ahead if you are a woman.

      Contractor "Non-Red Badge"

      Contractor/consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Innovative and dynamic organization with an amazing philosophy and strong cultural values. Phenomenal CEO who needs to place his finger on the pulse of the core associates (3 levels down).

      Cons

      Diversity; better yet lack there of...appears to be a very cloned and cult-like organization (Raleigh NC). Majority looks the same (non-minority) attended the same type of college, share the same beliefs, and/or reside in Raleigh - unbelievable. What's unfortunate is there are surprisingly quite a few people who acknowledge this (once brought to their attention) but react only by shrugging their shoulders with a crooked smile. This will eventually catch up with Red Hat, on so many levels.
