Thanks for the review! We are glad you feel that supported and genuinely cared for by the people around you. Regarding compensation, we conduct bi-annual salary analysis to ensure we’re staying as competitive in the marketplace, but compensation is just one of the many aspects of our Total Rewards philosophy. Other elements (just to name a few) are local work (minimal travel and work-life balance), employee development programs, company profit sharing, free meals and snacks, etc.

Supportive, Fun, Friendly Environment

Pros

This is the most supportive environment I have ever experienced. One of the company's values is "shared success" and this value is truly taken to heart. I know that my boss will help me grow professionally and will advocate on my behalf. I know that my peers will take the time to give me advice or support when needed. Additionally, the local "no travel" model makes it easy to have work-life balance.

Cons

It is a small company so compensation is just okay.

Thanks for the review! We are glad you feel that Sendero is the “most supportive environment” you have ever experienced. That speaks volumes about our employees and the way we interact with one another. Regarding compensation, we conduct bi-annual salary analysis to ensure we’re staying as competitive in the marketplace, but compensation is just one of the many aspects of our Total Rewards philosophy. Other elements (just to name a few) are local work (minimal travel and work-life balance), employee development programs, company profit sharing, free meals and snacks, etc.

Growing consulting firm, not without challenges

Associate consultant

Business Outlook

Pros

- Decent breadth of challenging opportunities (multiple industries, types of work), considering size (50-100 employees) - Travel/work-life balance is much better than other consulting firms (90% of work is done in DFW area) - Heavy emphasis on "shared success" is a fresh of breath air compared to standard cut-throat consulting stereotype (e.g. repetitive business processes recognize others for their hard work and sharing of knowledge on projects) - Senior management has great experience and conducts themselves with integrity and respect for others - Fun, supportive atmosphere among consultants

Cons

- Growth opportunities can be somewhat limited if projects are tough to come by (firm is still small, so ideal clout level to easily win projects is still not there yet) - Much heavier emphasis on technology-related projects when compared to a standard business management / strategy consulting firm - Training is better than it's been in previous years, but still not near same standard as industry leaders

Thanks for the review! We are glad you find so many aspects of working at Sendero to be positive. The way we have approached business development since our inception in 2004 has been about building and maintaining working relationships. We find that this natural approach eliminates the stress to “sell” and leads to projects derived from previous working relationships. We currently have less than 8% of our consultants “unstaffed” which is the result of numerous referrals and repeat clients.
