You are a resource to be used up - Senior Consultant 6point6 Employee Review

Pros

There are some fantastically talented and approachable people working at 6point6. There is a clear disconnect between the people at the coal face and the leadership of the company. If you are working with the more juniors you will develop some great relationships and gain experience which will (mostly) be very useful for your career

Cons

The owners / c-suite of the company are only interested in profits and the next "event" to maximise their share holdings. They will deploy staff to toxic clients who abuse you daily, they don't care. As long as you are billing they are winning. You will be sold training and personal development opportunities, but these will only ever materialise if a customer demands specific expertise or badges to do the work. Otherwise you will be asked to learn in your own time. You are expected to work your hours for your customer, and then do everything else (like staff management, training etc.) in your own time. They treat you like a resource, not a person. When you are used up, you are discarded.

I appreciate you taking the time to share your views. Your advice to management is spot on. For us to grow, 6point6 has to be a great place to work for everyone and the Leadership Team is focussed on this goal. I can assure you we care deeply about the people who work here. We want to make brilliant ideas happen for our clients which means meaningful work for our people that really makes a difference. Being profitable means we can do that sustainably for years to come. I’m sorry we weren’t able to keep you on the team and wish you good luck with what you do next. Thank you. David Webb, CEO

Pros

Work on exciting projects with the latest technology. All Directors and CxO level are always on hand to help, great open door policy. Always feel well supported by everyone in the company, has a family feel to it

Cons

Be nice to have some more work outside of the Government and offer more rotation on projects. The opportunity to move to other practices would be good

Thanks so much for taking time to write a review, it's so helpful for candidates to get a sense of what our culture is like. We have done lots on rotation, including targets and weekly monitoring and we've got big growth ambitions so am in no doubt there will be lots of opportunity to new things for those who want to. Thanks again Janet, Chief of Staff
