No longer a top consulting firm - Anonymous employee Bridge Partners Employee Review

You can experience long stretches of time with out being on a project and you don’t get paid. Most of the projects are more like staffing, not true consulting. Directors don’t have much time to dedicate to coaching and mentoring their teams of consultants. The directors quotas are incredibly high and they are always under so much pressure to find new biz, so helping consultants build their careers is a VERY low priority. Bridge says consultants have a career path in the company, but I have never seen this in actuality. There is zero investment in the people. They even hired two new “people” leaders over the past six months, and they appear to be the most out of touch with the consultants out of anyone. They lack people skills and come across as very uncaring and cold. The company culture has shifted since I’ve been here. It’s no longer the tight knit group. It’s trying to be very corporate, and it’s losing the magic that made it a special place to work 3 years ago. In fact, some of the best people have left in the past year. Also, the pay is not competitive for consultants. The company is too Microsoft focused. The company does not seem to know where they want to be in five years or how to get there.
