Pros
Excellent work-life balance. You're treated like a person, not a work-machine. There is a culture of appreciation and positivity without trying to hide that there are things they can work on.
Cons
There's a lot of change, it's scary that all of the changes are happening at once.

Pros
Great people, great mission, and an inspiring place to work. Ownership is something that is not only talked about but acted upon as well. If you are currently a road warrior looking to settle down and stop traveling Point B is the place for you.
Cons
It can be difficult working on a client as a point solution without other Point B co-workers. If you aren't a self-starter or willing to take the time to create your own career its easy to get lost in the day to day of client work.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Point B full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Some of the smartest, most interesting and fun colleagues ever. For a consultant, the pros are huge - no need to travel, interesting work, opportunity to become engaged in growing the business, lots of local activities. Really fun.
Cons
HQ is in Seattle, so sometimes the local markets feel disconnected from the power base. Mostly that is good - sometimes it feels a little out of synch. But everything else is well worth that small blip.
Advice to Management
Keep being transparent, open and willing to receive feedback.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookI have been working at Point B full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great colleagues, collaborative environment, employee owned, several ways to create your own career, local model and limited travel.
Cons
Limited opportunity to grow into senior leadership ranks. Executive leadership is out of touch with the realities of consultants on the ground. Slow to implement changes to overall strategy. Don't address poor performers at leadership levels.
Advice to Management
Run the business like a business, not a club. Don't be afraid to tell people what to do and how the firm needs to evolve

RecommendsPositive OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Point B full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Amazingly well grounded, broad interest, and bright colleagues. Firm seems to finally be setting priorities that value client delivery above other side work.
Cons
Compensation is tough and tenure not rewarded even if you are a steady contributor. Bill rates rise and pay rates stay stagnant. PTO doesn't really exist...you have to take over 30 percent off in a given month to realize any paid time off if you are on the plus pay model. No paid holidays. Only 3 days of true PTO at a reduced rate.
Advice to Management
Keep upping comp and benefits. Get leaner so we don't need such high margins. Truly reward CSD. Keep hiring amazing people!

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Point B full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
Great training, lots of young employees who hang out together. Great first job for a culture that continues college.
Cons
Grunt work that supports the experienced consultants. In crowd that gets promoted for reasons other than hard work, solid work. Bringing in sales is what they want.
Advice to Management
Alternative career paths.
