Pros
- Great Work Life Balance - Smart Co-workers that have a lot to offer - Travel is optional
Cons
-Wet Blanket over you in terms of pay increases and promotions - Used to value its culture and people, now the firm cares primarily for the bottom line.
Advice to Management
Point B has historically been a firm that has very tenured consultants that can charge a high margin. As younger talent joined the firm, Point B has been able to still charge a premium for Point B resources while paying Associates, Analysts etc. way less (which is great for the company as a whole). But after those more junior folks develop and excel, responsibilities increase etc. pay needs to reflect the additional...

Pros
Awesome people, needs of client are priority over making money. Highly ethical.
Cons
Overworked and underpaid. Consultants seem to have more work life balance and better compensation than other areas of the company.
Advice to Management
Operations keeps the machine running. Realize the value of your non consulting employees with more than words. Don't risk losing good people with scrawny compensation and bonus. Recognize the dedication and hard work that loyal employees make.

Pros
There are some really smart people there and decent live/work balance.
Cons
1. They beat you over the head with culture. If you have a good culture you dont need to keep pushing it on people. And saying things like - you need to fit our culture is more exclusive than inclusionary. God forbid you dont fit their culture. You must go out to events. 2. As a consulting firm they tried to build a sales team. But as consultancies usually do they think their consultants can sell - that is where there...

Be more active and take charge in the company. Keep your political comments to yourself and if you ever attempt sales again hire real sales leaders and sales people and give them the power to define the sales process. Consultants dont sell that is why they are consultants.

We really do pride ourselves on our culture. In fact we actively welcome all points of view aimed at making it better, including yours. We want our people to talk with their directors or me to share opinions and work through the issues they feel are impacting their ability to thrive. ...

Pros
The best culture I've been a part of. The people are amazing and do care about you as a person.
Cons
Leadership will put you into roles that you are sometimes not suited for or not experienced enough to handle. This happened to me multiple times, and when a project went south I was the one who was blamed. This is not a place to come to early in your career.
Advice to Management
Stop putting growth ahead of the development of your young talent. It will burn them out.

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.
Point B2018-06-08June 11, 2018 – COO
We appreciate the thoughtful feedback you’ve provided. Agree, it does feel like several different change plans are in place. It also feels a bit a unique, AND, hopefully, :) like an exciting time in our firm’s history as we evolve to meet the dynamic needs of the marketplace. Right ...
