Thank you for taking the time to share some feedback. We regret the way you have chosen to refer to your past colleagues. There was nothing robotic about the hard work of our growing team over the past 6 years, as we took our company from nothing to #34 on the Inc 500. Additionally, our team members based in other countries are actually some of our longest tenured colleagues and have proven themselves repeatedly on several large client engagements over the years. Our own website is an example of the quality of their work. Our list of investments in growing our business this year alone already includes such items as doubling our New York Office size, growing our global team, significantly increasing marketing, developing proprietary technology and expanding internationally. All of these initiatives will create career growth opportunities for our team. Our careers page highlight other elements of our culture, such as weekly all hands, catered health conscious lunches, quarterly get-togethers, etc. While the pains of a rapidly growing company takes away from the interaction time with everyone that we once enjoyed, we continue to look for ways to get regular direct feedback from our team. We are grateful to our team and we are actively looking for more ambitious people to continue on this demanding and rewarding journey of building a business with us. We are deeply committed to building the right culture for our business and our team, and we are happy to offer those that are interested in learning more, to visit our office and get a first hand view of our business, office and culture.

Pros

Great Team - everyone really works well with each other and enjoy working individually and in groups. Good sense of comradery amongst the teams. I moved on for person reasons which did not have to do with the job.

Cons

Long hours, but they are rewarding given what we are working on for the client. Also, the benefits balance things out. Flexible schedule also helps - other than that there were no negatives.

Pros

​- ​Coworkers are all nice people and they all work hard/are willing to pitch in when there's an influx in client work. - HR is very personable - best HR I've ever worked with - Events like birthday lunches and weekly lunches make it a nice work setting for connecting with your team - Flexible working schedule, people understand if you need to duck out of the office for a doctor's appointment or a day to work from home - Work/life balance is good, albeit partly due to ebb/flow of client work and bandwidth

Cons

- The company culture only cares about billable work and staying billable. Not conducive for thought leadership work - The process for new business development and sales is an absolute joke. No real resources dedicated to it (see above: billability obsession) - Regional offices could be connected better. People often forget that they can (and should) connect with their colleagues in the branch offices in Australia and San Francisco. - Turnover rate is high. Management could do more to address the high turnover. - Have yet to see any training opportunities for career growth or management. While most of the manager-level folks here are great, some of managers here could use serious training in sensitivity and communication. ​- recent client scope replanning has made a mess of the company morale; top down communication is at best vague and infrequent​ and at worst inconsistent and dishonest.
