Tools and systems may not be as robust as large big X firms

Pros
Point B is a human centered consulting firm with a national presence. Leadership is focused on delivering a high level of service to our clients and caring for and developing in-house talent.
Cons
Like many other companies, we were impacted by the pandemic and resulting economic downturn. The company responded by implementing a new, more streamlined operating model that has resulted in some turnover.

- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
None - don’t get scammed.
Cons
Everything. Horrible pay - they very well may be on their way to insolvency since Covid is destroying their business. Associates just babysit Emerging Leaders and in general the firm is just a bunch of wanna be big 4 consultants that could never execute - and they have this Employee Ownership model that is essentially a Ponzi Scheme. The diversity, culture stuff is so fake it’s annoying. They have no IP, lame brand, and weak offerings. Really just a bunch of emotionally charged people who band together to force ongoing sales on their accounts. They are not even good at sales - the whole thing will probably crash one day. I feel the worst for the few smart associates who drink the cool aid and somehow got suckered into accepting an offer. Poor kids - wasting prime years. Bad benefits. Probably worst experience of my life. The people are so fake it’s unbearable. Very little intelligence at this firm. Run away fast don’t get scammed. Surprised COVID didn’t actually out them out of business yet.
Continue readingIt’s difficult to find the words to respond this kind of post. I’m saddened and disappointed that you weren’t able to find a path forward with your 1:1, your leadership team or me – particularly in a company that takes such specific care in building a strong culture and looking out for its people. We hope you find what you’re looking for in your next role and wish you the best.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Friendly and experienced colleagues that will bring you along in their success. A true team mentality that focuses on growth and achievement.
Cons
Smaller teams that require more flexibility in roles and opportunities
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
The culture depends a lot by person and I have had very good and less positive experiences. We talk a lot about what we want to be and progress seems to be moving in that direction - more fresh senior leadership and external voices would help
Cons
We talk a lot about who we want to be and it’s taken a very long time to change because from what I see and have heard from before I joined, it’s been the same leadership trying to change the firm. There is a lot of baggage holding the firm back and I am not sure we have the ability to break from our past business of staffing.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. Growth is critically important to us here at Point B. It’s something we keep front and center so we can best support our people as they continue to meet and serve the ever-evolving needs of our customers. I agree that transformation may not feel fast enough for some, while for others it requires a longer change journey. We need feedback from all of our people as we navigate this change together, so we take your comments to heart. If comfortable please connect with your 1:1 or any other leaders that you could share more details with as I am sure they would only benefit from this feedback and perceptions.
