      I have been working at Navigant full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Great people
      Plenty of work

      I really enjoyed the culture and the people at Navigant. Only of the most welcoming communities and still feels like a small firm despite large growth (at least in the Healthcare department). Definitely feel like the firm is on the up.

      Cons

      Learning / development
      Compensation

      Still don't pay as competitively (but not bad) as some other top consulting firms and the learning/development process is still developing. Need to offer more/better training if they want to keep employees and hire top candidates.

      Advice to Management

      Invest in training young employees as the company grows from a boutique firm to a large, horizontal focused consulting company
