Riveron Consulting 2015 Review

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great culture and work/life balance, young, fun, and bright delivery professionals. Service offerings provide for unique and cycle-responsive client engagements.

Cons

Below market compensation due to variable component and unrealistic utilization targets; bonuses less than offer letters. 90% of the company is glorified staff aug work (financial advisory). Benefits are inferior to market (PTO, immaterial 401k match, maternity). Regressively trending culture as a result of lead HR and Ops hires. Excessive spending at the overhead level.

Pros

-If you are highly utilized you will make decent money -Staff is young and generally has a fun time outside of work -Good exposure to financial due diligence (FDD) work

Cons

-If you are not highly billable, you can expect to make about half your compensation (salary and hourly model to comp.). Also the burden is on the employee instead of the firm. -The Business Advisory Services practice (BAS) is supposed to be the management consulting practice. There is no real consulting work and most BAS practitioners get staffed on transaction or financial advisory accounting /diligence work. The firm believes it does operational-type consulting but it doesn't. All of the practitioners with Top Tier or Big 4 strategy or operational consulting experience left. -Mangement / Leadership is not transparent -Firm spends a lot of money on lavish events instead of things like training or development -Subpar benefits -Unclear what the value proposition is except "we're cheap" -Quick to fire (no, I was not fired)...firm recently fired about 10% of its workforce

Pros

Decent salary, Great benefits, Strong colleagues

Cons

I was extremely capable and severely under-utilized. I begged for project work for MONTHS, knowing I would be evaluated based on my utilization. Then I was chosen to be laid off because of my low utilization rate. The company lacks TRUE diversity. Yes, they have a DEI team and have established ERGs, but the workforce is not very diverse. It is a very political environment, having the right people like you makes all the difference in your development and growth.
