      Pros

      John holds true to his word. I’ve heard from others that they’d thought it was too good to be true during the recruitment process. I guess I felt some of that too but everything John tells you is the truth and how they run their business. The success of their employees, whether with BICP, or the next opportunity is at the heart of their business model. Couldn’t be happier to join such a good group. They’ve been incredible.

      Cons

      Can’t think of much. Maybe more in person gatherings but John and Sean do a great job checking in and trying to get the group together when they’re in town.

        Pros

        I have worked for BICP for 7 years. BICP is the first company I have worked for that truly cares about their employees. They listen when you have questions or concerns and try to help in any way possible. Most consulting companies don't care if you have to travel long distances or work in challenging environments. BICP works hard to pair up consultants and clients that fit well together. This helps make BICP a great place to work. In my position, I have worked with a lot of contractors, I have had many contractors say they love working with BICP because BICP cares for the contractors they hire. BICP makes contractors feel like part of the company which makes great working environments. Another thing I love about BICP is that no one plays politics. Everyone works to get our jobs done without politics. That is very rare. My skill set has grown a lot with BICP. I have ran projects, worked on proposals, sales calls and worked at conferences. I have experienced a wide range of duties and tasks that has helped my career grow. I have had opportunities that I might not have had with other companies. Overall I really love working with BICP and all of the people I work with.

        Cons

        I don't have any cons with BICP. The only con is with consulting in general. There is a lot of travel so if you don't like travel then being a consultant might not be a fit.

          Business Outlook

          Pros

          The biggest thing that BICP does is do away with much of the administrative work and client relationship management from the individual employee allowing said employee to focus on the work and projects at hand. The BICP management has fostered relationships up and down the West Coast meaning there is a variety of different opportunities, all with good chances for conversion to full time opportunities. When you join BICP you also join their network of current and former employees which stay well-connected and help each other out constantly. Its a great support network for help navigating a new client, career questions, or even just for someone to go get a beer with. The compensation is very good and accounts for the more barebones benefits. Finally, the management is transparent and very agreeable, willing to negotiate and discuss issues that come up and very willing to work hard to get you to work at a client or on a particular project.

          Cons

          PTO is earned on a pro-rated basis, but unpaid leave is not limited (but subject to client approval). Other benefits like 401k (none) and insurance are barebones with the tradeoff of a very competitive base salary and bonuses. I would stress that despite cons, total compensation is still very good (in my opinion).

            Business Outlook

            Pros

            I have been with BICP for over a year now but I came to know the weight the BICP name carries shortly after coming on board when a director said to me, "I've worked with a lot of BICP people in the past. When I see a BICP resume come across my desk, I know they're a quality candidate." Compensation and benefits are some of the most competitive I've seen. Transparency into the business is high and communication with the partners is perfect. Not too on your back like some other firms I've been with and not too hands off. They're really on the ball when it comes close to contract renewal time, I never feel like I have to worry about what my next move is and because of that I can just focus on doing great work.

            Cons

            BICP's holiday schedule may not align 100% with whichever company you are placed at. That's understandable, though, and their PTO and sick leave are very reasonable.

              Pros

              - Competitive Salary: Great pay, one of the best in the west coast - Big name client: World Fortune 100, great opportunities to work in the biggest client - Great management and great leaders: BICP management team is always ready to help employee to be successful. Managers are responsible and responsive whenever employee need them. I personally consider BICP managers close friends because they are always trying to help me grow and success in my career. They are not managers who manage your work but leaders lead you success from some questions to big career advice. I enjoy work with BICP leaders.

              Cons

              Not necessarily a con with BICP, but understand that vacation time depends on the client.

                Business Outlook

                Pros

                My experience with BICP has been career changing in all the right ways. BICP gives me the opportunity to develop new, cutting-edge skills and improve on old ones. Work / life balance is great and they take care of their employees. The culture is something special as well.

                Cons

                The lack of face time with management which makes it difficult to show-case your skills. Although, this is probably attributed to how consulting firms are set-up (nature of the beast). Being in different states does tend to make it hard for face-to-face meetings!

                  Pros

                  - Strong client relationships built upon a long history of trust - Smart BICP colleagues who drive and deliver - Leadership that are open and fair - Competitive pay depending on experience - Interesting work and projects at large companies - Ability to switch to a FTE role for the client - Compensation is not based on any form of sales commission. Seen as a pro for those that want to roll up their sleeves and focus on delivering project work

                  Cons

                  - Mandatory PTO or unpaid leave for the client's “dim the light” schedules around holidays/etc – this could be a week or more at certain clients - No 401(k) offered in lieu of higher compensation

                      Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
