What are perks and other benefits like at Sia?

Very professional environment, good benefits and pay.

Sometimes there was a lot of overtime.

People , relax culture, great benefits

Management doesn’t sell at a high level

Benefits, variety of projects, flexibility

Lack of employee retention, managers no longer eligible for sales bonus,

Hybrid working Nice colleagues Good benefits Seminar work trips every year

Lack of trust in senior management Recent redundancies handled terribly Company culture has changed dramatically HR non existent

-Getting the benefits of a global firm while keeping a small local office culture -Nice and friendly people, easy access to top management, friendly and supportive managers and partners -Salary above average, opportunities for accelerated career progression -Very fast growth in the GCC region (as of 2024), very ambitious - aiming to be a top consulting firm -Flexible management styles, opportunities for remote work, overall better work-life balance (WLB) than in other firms (but varies from project to project / person to person)

-Although there are many projects and more great ones coming into the pipeline as the company grows and builds strong relationships with major clients, some projects might not be as exciting for people looking for particular industries / practices -Salaries are higher than average but below big 3 / major boutique firms (for some positions, significantly below) but this is compensated with a better WLB, more flexibility and opportunities for trying work across the corporate value chain early on. Same goes with perks and bonuses -Lack of oversight and structured personal development support: it suits perfectly self-driven individuals who can grow independently vs those who struggle to navigate in the unknown

lovely environment to work in

compensation and benefits are not attractive

Great benefits including family allowance.

As stressful as consulting gets, mid level managers are not qualified enough.

Healthcare benefit are decent. If you have a manager who cares and advocates for you, you can climb the ranks.

Only focused on acquiring companies to grow the business. Ironically they offer M&A and transformation and change services to clients but are terrible at implementing it in their own company. Terrible communication, you have the sense that leadership does not care about individuals at all. All of their internal processes and systems are clunky and inefficient with limited transparency on how decisions are made. It's all the cons of french bureaucracy and american capitalism without any of the benefits. The only performance metric they care about is your individual "utilization" rate- not group level. The utilization target is like 80% but as a manager you are also expected to hit absurd BD targets. In addition to these absurd targets, you are also required to participate in "squads" (i.e. developing new offerings and pitching them). There is zero transparency on how you are scored on your performance. The game is set up to fail- unless you have a strong advocate on your side who can plead your case, is respected and savvy enough to learn how to game the system. Partners only care about getting credit for new business, they don't care about keeping their staff utilized and employed. There are only two people that run the entire company- which is terrible bottleneck and no one is able to actually get anything done. Do NOT work here. It's a mess.

Good benefits, people and work life balance

Unclear long term vision, pay could be higher
