Fantastic Company if you can make it through the interview process

Data and analytics consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic company that is grounded in an ownership model, where when the firm does better it directly benefits all of the employees. This leads to an incredibly supportive and collaborative culture where people will go above and beyond to help everyone be successful. While still being a consulting firm, the clients are primarily local allowing for a strong work/life balance and not having to be a road warrior.

Cons

Interview process was long, and the company is very selective.

A refreshing and supportive place to work

Associate consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Local leadership (the Managing Director and Managing Principal) is fantastic, and the CEO is pretty cool too. It is hard to fully explain, but I have never worked at a place where leadership is so genuinely supportive, instead of just saying they are. This is true for not just management, but all of my colleagues. Leadership is also very transparent, rather than just claiming to be. It is very refreshing, and I am still surprised that my positive experience has lasted for almost a year with the company. The work is hard, but the support from my direct team and the great teamwork and friendship here really help reduce consulting stress. I also appreciate that management works hard (and usually succeeds) to put consultants on projects that fit their skills and interests: this makes each project much more rewarding.

Cons

The Associate Program is new and still being developed. It can feel a bit messy, and there isn't a clear career path progression yet, which introduces a level of uncertainty. The program was started without a full plan for how to run it long-term (leadership openly shared this with us, which is a great example of the transparency I appreciate). Even so, I can see that leadership is working hard to improve the program. While there is still a long way to go, I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn from experienced consultants; they have all been incredibly welcoming, patient, and supportive. Honestly, these are the only real cons I have experienced so far.

Great culture and rewarding work

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Culture is the best I've been part of - hire seasoned professionals, who are talented, and humble/hungry/smart - great things happen. The work we do is interesting, challenging and rewarding - we work with amazing clients in/around the ATL area, making an impact not just in our work but our community as well.

Cons

The nature of consulting - you can sometimes be on a project by yourself so it's more difficult to stay connected to the SEI team.
