Pros

- Really interesting projects, focussed on PE / top-level strategy... not watered down by implementation/corporate "hand-holding" kind of work - Fast growth firm - lots of opportunities to learn and take on responsibility; rapid career progression (quarterly promotions) - Really great colleagues and peers - I will stay in touch with many of them for years!

Cons

- At times, that growth/agility means not same level of consistent internal processes (e.g. HR/promotion/review paper trail) as at other firms. Down to your personality whether that is significant or not.

Pros

Great people who are very collaborative and eager to learn/teach. Everyone is willing to help one another out and pitch in. Emphasis on integrity and shaping analyses around data/inputs collected by the team and not pre-determined hypotheses. Flatter structure and entrepreneurial firm culture offers opportunity to be a thought partner (internally and on projects) and for room to grow. You are able to have many varied work opportunities since projects span a wide range of industries and the work is fast-paced.

Cons

Workload can be demanding/unpredictable, though that’s common in this industry and there is generally a focus on work-life balance from most team leaders Growing pains associated w/ rapid growth

Pros

-Partners and managers lead through encouragement and positive reinforcement making for a positive consulting environment -Work that clients truly pay attention to and use to make tough decisions -Visible ownership of work: Consultants' and Associates' role as the drivers of Voice of Customer interviews is communicated to clients, and Consultants are encouraged to speak up and present to clients regardless of seniority -Opportunities to work on a lot of different topics for both Fortune 100 and PE clients -Integrity of analysis: consultants at GRAPH carry out a true research process based on primary research - we are NEVER asked to fit our analysis into predetermined story lines that are not backed by evidence -Partners put a lot of thought into internal processes, marketing, business development, etc. when they started GRAPH, which has made for smooth internal processes as the company has grown -Fast growing company -Competitive benefits in terms of health insurance, compensation, retirement, and vacation time

Cons

- Growing pains of a small company, but partners do a great job communicating to us what we can realistically expect and the thought process behind the decisions they make -Hours can be long and unpredictable similar to any consulting job, but low frequency of travel and flexibility to work at home at night makes it a lot more manageable
