Society Consulting Reviews

Pros

Good office environment with flexible options for telecommuting and otherwise. The work-life balance here is great! Decent benefits, great bunch of people, and a willingness from ownership team to solve any workplace or cultural concerns.

Cons

It's consulting work, so if you're longing to own a program and drive deep strategic vision, you should be looking at one of their clients, not at an agency. You can get pigeonholed into samey, silo'd work if you don't develop yourself outside of working hours. Sometimes management has been defensive about feedback, but they do rally and come with heartfelt intention to improve the workplace.

Advice to Management

Y'all are going great - keep thinking big! It's all about redefining the big data space in the next century, moving past the webspace into IOT work.

Pros

Solid leadership constantly striving to help employees grow their professional skills and experience. Flexible schedules to match client projects. Social company with many events and networking opportunities.

Cons

Limited selection of client projects. Heavy on the Microsoft projects and few clients with long term contracts. If you are in-between projects you are placed "on the bench" waiting for your next project.

Advice to Management

Continue building your client base. Keep up the great work and promoting consulting skills and experience through added training.

Pros

Great people! Smaller place with great culture!

Cons

Recently they move to downtown Seattle.

Pros

Dine at nice places and the consultants are skilled

Cons

The count of those that marked "helpful" under the negative reviews as opposed to the positive reviews tells you everything you need to know! BEWARE NO MATTER WHAT EXCUSES THEY TELL YOU. THEY LIE!

Pros

Consultants not located at HQ work remotely serving clients in their local market. Coworkers were great to work with as a team on a project Provide hardware (laptop, dock station, monitor) for desk set up if remote

Cons

Things turned sour for me after Society was acquired by EY. It didn't feel like the right fit since Society is not in the accounting/finance/risk business. True, this big 4 firm has a consulting/advisory arm but still, it didn't feel right. It is THE reason why I am seeking another job at the moment. The big 4 firms make me feel as if I should be so grateful for the chance to work with them. I am not fresh out...

Advice to Management

I don't have any since previous management is no longer the true management. The firm that acquired Society is so large I actually have no idea who is and who isn't management ha.

Pros

Fun atmosphere, cool building. Company events and afternoon happy hours. Company pays for stocked kitchen and some breakfast and lunches. Happy working environment. You work hard, they will reward you. Allows friendly dogs.

Cons

work life balance was off - maybe different for others in different departments. Long hours worked and for salary (no additional benefit but still a requirement of the job). No real access for development and moving up in the company.

Pros

Flexible, lots of smart people, treat their employees very well

Cons

This is not really a con, but the culture is a bit youth-focused and cliquey. The management team tends to just hire their friends for all internal positions, so there was very much an "in-crowd", including the owners, who were always going to Hawaii together, etc. Awkward for those of us who were not included.

Pros

Open, collaborative environment. Friendly management. Very good relationship with clients. High job security as far as consultancies go (stable).

Cons

Client portfolio could be more diverse
