"Growing Firm with Opportunities and Flaws"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at AArete full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
A stable and growing company. They want and try to be innovative - the passion is there. A great place to begin a consulting career. If you are liked by leadership you will move up quickly. Strong data and market intelligence within their two main services but outside of those areas AArete struggles with execution.
Cons
Leadership: A mix of either way too young or older gentlemen with wildly traditional consulting views. There are not enough checks and balances in place - a single leader possesses ultimate power over projects and people. When group decisions are needed, there seems to be herd mentality among leaders. They are either too afraid to stand up to others at the same level or they all have the same opinion. Consultants: If you fit within their two main niches - Payment Intelligence or Strategic Cost Reduction you will do great. If not, they have no idea what to do with you or how to leverage your skills. Mentorship is discussed and Career Achievement Teams have helped but true mentors are hard to come by

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at AArete full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
The people, the culture (before covid), benefits, flexibility
Cons
- Lack of transparency with compensation. Very obvious that everyone is paid unfairly. No one has any idea what leadership makes so we don't know what we're striving for. Those who stick around long-term don't get high enough pay raises and could easily leave for 25-40% more - One particularly toxic female MD who is extremely bias and known to chew everyone out who crosses her path - Diversity. While they say it's something they value, they haven't/won't invest in hiring diverse executive talent and continue to bring on the same types of people with the same backgrounds
