Decent company; poor pay
May 10, 2021 - Research Analyst in Denver, CORecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Coworkers were great. Lots of smart, positive people.
Cons
I worked for Navigant Research, which was Pike Research until it was acquired by Navigant. Navigant's strategy seems to be to acquire start-ups and keep those employees' salaries suppressed. I did essentially the same work as folks on the consulting side but got paid about half as much because I wasn't on billable hours. I might have switched over but didn't enjoy the work enough to stick around.

Culture Shifts Since Acquisition, but Leadership Making it a Priority to Change
Mar 17, 2021 - Senior Consultant in Chicago, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The people are great and the work is varied, and mostly interesting
Cons
Culture has shifted since the acquisition but leadership is aware and attempting to take the steps to right it
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Good colleagues and some interesting projects. Good training opportunities available.
Cons
The larger it became, the fewer perks there were to employment. Executive managed seemed to stop listening to employees and were focused solely on bottomline. Long work hours with bonus pay that was not commensurate with extra hours worked.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
One of the best professional working environments I've ever worked. Opinions and skills were valued by my supervisors and subordinates. I was allowed to grow professionally and contribute to the growth of the organization.
Cons
Often times over-utilized (too much work, not enough time). Which is a good problem to have - the extra work/demand was recognized in bonuses/promotions, etc.

Terrible if you are interested in a work/life balance
Jun 2, 2015 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Good pay if you negotiate well. There are plenty of opportunities to work on new things so in that regard it can be challenging. There is also a steep learning curve and a general lack of empathy if you don't meet that curve. There are plenty of co-workers to commiserate with about how agonizing it is to work here. So comradere is not hard to find once that common denominator is established. Navigant also throws some pretty lavish events a couple times a year.. Which are usually followed by lay offs..
Cons
Depending on the practice group, like financial services, it is expected that you work, eat, work, sleep and repeat. People work remotely on vacation.. Not because they want to but because there is pressure to. It is the company culture and it starts from the top. There are people in the company who have not seen their kids for weeks.. Literally. I saw the post about a great work/life balance and had to reply. That post is disingenuous and probably written by management. There are "fire drills" every day and most of them are false alarms. You cannot use the bathroom in peace because someone will come looking for you with a "fire drill". Don't even think about eating lunch out of the office... If you are a recent grad they will hire you and work the marrow out of your bones.. If you are a seasoned worker you will leave within a year..
