      A wonderful vacation from industry

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      This is my first time working for a company that spends money on its people. Happy hours, company retreats, lunches and training. I feel comfortable talking with anyone at the company, and there is a feeling that I set my career course and there's nothing keeping me from attaining any goal I set. The local model works well, and the variable pay model, while risky if the bench happens, ensures that overtime work is paid work, which is refreshing coming from salaried industry. There is a real commitment from the exec team and leadership at the local level to positive change and gaining feedback.

      Cons

      The Denver area is very large, so the local model can still lend itself to long commutes depending on where the project is. The 401k match is terrible for a company that spends so much money on its employees elsewhere. The vacation could be better, definitely. There is some balance needed with regards to client sizes and their relative risk to the company.

      Completely Agree with “Weak & Insecure Leadership Team” posting on 4/29/14 -- Couldn't have said it better myself

      Pros

      Only pros are that if you can get on the right project and stay away from the office, you can work locally and take a break from high pressure work. Good for a temporary reprieve from real work with real people and real clients.

      Cons

      When I read the current employee's review posted on 4/29/14, I felt as if I could have been the one who wrote that. The Denver team is completely full of themselves and do not have the skills to back it up. It's like a social country club of wanna-be's and I was so disappointed in my time there.

      Kept the best parts of consulting and dropped the worst (i.e. travel!)

      Pros

      - No travel! Unless you're on the national team, 100% local. You can sleep in your own bed every night and actually have a life! - Hardworking, passionate workforce who is dedicated to high quality work, but everyone really values their personal lives (you can work in consulting and still have a family and hobbies!). This is driven from the top and expectations are set up front with clients to keep way more reasonable hours than the big firms - Feels like you can truly "be yourself" - company cares about you as a person; diverse group of people but all with really solid experience (many Big 4) - Collaborative/helpful workforce - very flat structure and no up or out model - Proactive in continuous improvement - still young enough, you can play a part in shaping things, but every week you get asked to provide input or some new initiative is launching which demonstrates the maturity and strong investments being made (founds are still around and truly care)

      Cons

      - Must be very self-driven and able to work autonomously without a ton of direction - it's "consulting for grown ups", but this is not for everyone - Heavy focus on technology projects (though not ERP implementations) - need to sell our ability to do even more larger transformation projects than we're already doing
