Great company - Staff Scientist Aspect Consulting Employee Review

Great people to work with

Long hours and a bit unorganized

The people are great, some projects are unique and interesting, and there is current movement on diversity and inclusion which I appreciate.

Although Aspect presents itself as a unique small firm, a lot of the issues are the same as the large firms. Field staff are overworked, underpaid, and generally undervalued. There is high pressure to be extremely billable, which is a constant stressor for those who don't have long term high budget projects. There is a lack of training in all departments, because of the focus on billable hours. Because the company is relatively new, a lot of people were able to move up the ranks quickly and now newer people (hired within the last 5 years) generally won't have the same ability to move up. Of course, they don't present it that way and come up with all of these metrics when really it's wholly dependent on your studios rate of growth and turnover.
