Pros

The company has grown substantially over the last 15 years and with revenue of $70M, has become a strong consulting firm in the Boston area and a stable place to work. The benefits and work environment are comparable if not better than their peers.

Cons

Like any consulting firm, Collaborative hires associates at all levels from outside the firm. Some of these hires are relatively new to the workforce and may in fact be consulting for the first time. Others have decades of experience and bring a lot to the table. Unfortunately, there is a core of individuals with a long tenure at Collaborative (particularly on the technical side) who feel threatened by experienced outsiders and will sabotage their work in order to preserve their own career growth.

Pros

There are some opportunities in the consulting projects to grow your skillsets. The CDSC in Wisconsin is staffed with great people, even if there is somewhat of a leadership gap. The Waterville office is small and somewhat desolate but shows promise to grow if the company can keep its focus on it.

Cons

The company is struggling to remain relevant. Salaries are below market and bonuses are the most pathetic I've ever received in a consulting company. Upper middle management is overpaid, bloated, manipulative and shady. The Burlington office is so toxic and poisonous it's tangible in the air. There is a refusal to see the need for shifting the business model as it may mean some peoples' jobs may become less relevant. "Hire and fire" is regularly used as a management tool. I was there one year and we had 3 rounds of layoffs, followed by lots of promotions in the upper tiers of the "good ol boy" network. That doesn't make much sense to me.
