Centric Consulting Reviews

Pros

They hire A-players and treat them like adults. No micromanaging here.
The company is team focused...and our clients are on our team.
The company recognizes and rewards individuals who go the extra mile, while not expecting you to go so far you lose the balance in your life.
I really enjoy working with my co-workers; they are engaged, interesting and motivated people who are genuinely interested in both colleagues and client staff. It feels more like working with a group of friends than just a bunch of co-workers.

Pros

As a lifelong consultant but someone who wanted to get off the road for family reasons, finding a firm that allowed me quality of life was very important. Centric emphasizes this during the recruitment process, and actually lives up to it after joining.

They also do a great job of building a culture, which isn't easy since most people are at client sites M-F. But using monthly office meetings and other social events, they help to bridge this gap.

Pros

Great firm to work for! Centric cares about their employees, contractors and clients. It is always about doing what's right and not what will makes us the most money. Leadership is very thoughtful in their strategic moves, which shows in the continued success of the company as a whole.

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing!

Pros

Centric has an amazing, unmatched culture. They truly live their core values, particularly those relating to work life balance and commitment to community. Starting with leadership and extending to everyone in the firm, Centric manages people and client projects in a way that strikes the right balance between work and the demands of life outside of work. This genuine, open approach to work and client service is something I have not experienced in my almost 30 years in the work force.

Advice to Management

Continue to innovate and explore new ways of serving your clients. However, be sure you stay true to your core values of openness, balance, and community. This is what make Centric special.

Pros

Centric is a great place to work. There is enough autonomy in the individual business units to ensure strong client partnership/engagement while ensuring individual consultants have plenty of great projects to work on. The camaraderie of the consultants and management is strong and supportive. It's a fun place to work. We work hard at our clients and have fun together at business unit meetings, national events, and volunteer events as well.

Advice to Management

I'd like to see more sharing across BUs, especially learnings and skills that we all can benefit from

Pros

The company was started by three friends who, after discussing what's wrong with most consulting companies, decided to start their own. The strength of the company is its corporate culture and core values, all of which center on providing unmatched experiences for their clients and unmatched experiences for their employees. My coworkers all seem to share the same vision of what our company stands for, and what it's trying to accomplish.

I have found an extremely supportive environment, where we're placed on teams where I get to do a lot of things I'm really good at and really passionate about, while I mostly let others take of the things I'm not good at. This is not simply one experience of being on a well-run team; its the result of a company culture that focuses on building great individual and team experiences.

Since our consulting teams are separated by job sites, and some work from home, we have some pretty memorable meetings/team building events. I've also been encouraged to dive more into the topics I'm passionate about, and give presentations to share my experiences with others.

Advice to Management

As we grow, don't lose the essentials of our company culture. It's what makes us stand above the rest.

Having fewer policies would be more in line with our culture.

Pros

The company strives to live its core values. There is a genuine desire to see people succeed and ensure the company is successful for years to come.

Advice to Management

Stick to the core values and live up to them.

Pros

Flexible schedules, friendly teammates, great communication

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work

Pros

Unlimited PTO, Annual Company Holiday Trip, sense of corporate belonging, each local business unit had it's own culture/personality.

Advice to Management

Standardize business practices (within reason) across all BUs.

Pros

There are many opportunities and opportunities to grow within your career. I love the work/life balance.
