Riveron Consulting

Pros

Very smart people with extensive backgrounds in public accounting and industry. Small teams allow for exposure to more areas and responsibility. Growing company with potential.

Cons

Absent C-suite. Some consulting projects can last for over a year, limiting professional growth outside of one company, industry, etc. Compensation is tied to billing. Can be great if you are billing a lot but can be not so great on the other end.

Pros

Riveron was founded as and continues to be a very entrepreneurial firm. I've found that when people truly understand and are excited by this fact, not only are they given immense opportunities, but they also often succeed; Large potential for upward advancement - a meritocracy; Fun, young and intelligent culture - these are people you enjoy spending time with outside of work; Consulting work is often very challenging and not overly scripted so you are learning a lot with each new engagement.

Cons

As other reviews have mentioned, the firm is growing and that is not without its challenges. It can be difficult to strike the right balance between process and free form; As it is entrepreneurial, the employee needs to be the steward of their own career as the overall performance management process is not designed to do it for you.

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
