Pros
Great group of consultants that perform at a high level of professionalism. The salary and benefits are good. They treat their employees very well in my opinion.
Cons
There were a lot of soft changes in the company, but overall management appears to be creating a stable company.
Advice to Management
Slow down cost cutting changes.

* The energy efficiency mission
* Some really great, dedicated, and passionate peopleCons
* Negative and disruptive employees need to be more immediately and proactively dealt with. It's come at the cost of loosing good valuable employees who ultimately leave in frustration when bad behavior is allowed to perpetuate.
Advice to Management
* Strong proactive management needs to start at the top, and reinforced down the chain.
* It's sad to see so much wasted potential.Nexant 2017-03-08 10:23 PSTHelpful (4)

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Nexant full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
The folks who aren't playing political games can be rather refreshing. Some folks may even be brutally honest, and trust me, this is a pro, since Nexant upper management is generally secretive.
Cons
Lower than average pay. What's worse is that certain departments have such a toxic environment that even senior staff will resign without securing positions first.
Advice to Management
The HR employee review process is a joke and should be removed. It doesn't matter if you have a near perfect score year after year, as I've found out that it's not in their best interest to reward you. When I leave, I'll at least know that I left nothing on the table.

Pros
5% 401k, 9 day sick leave, 3 floating leave
Cons
Lack of overall leadership and unprofessionalism of certain upper management
Advice to Management
when you see people leaving (some without a job to go to) on their own, did you ever wonder why? The major asset for a consulting firm is not cash, it's human capital.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Nexant full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Working with smart professionals with good manners. There are very talented engineers and (some) managers in this company.
Cons
There are some long-distance micromanagers with overly inflated egos here.
They undervalue and disrespect the people who work for them, making them perform low value busywork, while making sure that they do the high value work themselves and shine.
The performance review and bonus system is a joke. It is not transparent, they say it is based on a system, but they never explain you how it is actually calculated.Advice to Management
Be aware of the damage that the micromanagers are doing to the employee morale and the lack of transparency of the performance review system which is demotivating the employees.
