      I have been working at Huron Consulting Group full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great salary and amazing benefits (unlimited PTO, 6% 401k at 100% match, good heath insurance, etc.). Also, you can really own your career here - If you want to get to that next level some directors/managers do a great job of coaching you on how to achieve it. Big enough to get some large clients, but not too big like a BIG 4 where you are a number (been there done that) and the only number that matters is utilization. The medium size is also good because you really can get to know people in your organization but not in an overbearing way like a boutique firm would be.

      Cons

      The worst IT in the world. I think the IT support is underfunded or understaffed because it's so hard to get something actually fixed or someone in the states on a screen share.

      Advice to Management

      Put more $ toward IT support. A walk-up a desk in the Chicago office would be nice. Allow people to get Macs, it's 2017. I personally work so much quicker on a Mac and could do my own troubleshooting but my director never approved it.

      Pros

      nice staff, good compensation, recruits from schools in the midwest

      Cons

      expanding too quick, too many remote workers, behind the curve technologically, the work stops being mentally challenging after a while, VERY midwest

      Pros

      The people at Huron truly live the company values, which include Integrity, Pursuit of Excellence, and Collaboration. They are some of the most down-to-earth people and are extremely bright consultants. The people are what make the travel worth it.

      Cons

      Huron's largest sector is its healthcare division, which is a slow-moving industry. The company is still learning to be innovative and fast-paced in the industry, making sales difficult at this time.

      Advice to Management

      As Huron grows, it becomes more difficult for people lower on the hierarchy to contribute to the company at large. It would be beneficial if the company could provide all levels of consultants with the opportunity to engage with the ongoings at the management level.

      Bonuses are performance-based. Great team and mentors to help you grow in your consulting career. Benefits are good. Exceptional work/life balance.

      Cons

      Vagueness in terms of career mobility.

      Pros

      Great location and knowledgeable co-workers.

      Cons

      Strict dress code that should be a bit more relaxed.

      Advice to Management

      If an employee is not client facing the dress code should be a bit more relaxed.

    10. "Work Hard, Play Hard"

      Pros

      There is a "Work Hard, Play Hard" mentality for consultants who are out in the field. There are lots of chances to succeed and a lot of connections and networking to be done. You can learn a lot from this opportunity and I recommend it very much.

      Cons

      There is a "Work Hard, Play Hard" mentality for consultants who are out in the field. You end up working and just being with the same people for long periods time in a day, especially on the road. It can be great if you work well together, but not so much if the chemistry isn't there.

      Advice to Management

      Nothing to change other than create a more stable management structure. The job will weed out any people who aren't fit for the lifestyle.
