Pros

Work life balance is good, as even most senior level roles require entry level experience.

Cons

This used to be a firm that cared more about employee development and culture. However in recent years they've cut costs by eliminating: education/development funding, steady salary option, and occasional associate lunches. In other words they stopped investment in their employees. Further, most roles are more staff augmentation and not pure consulting. They hire talented people but can only offer mundane roles with little challenge or opportunity for real career advancement. It's turned into just another consulting firm struggling to make a name for themselves and not quite succeeding.

Thank you for your feedback. It seems that you once enjoyed being at Loft9 but that changed. We apologize that you had this experience. While it is accurate that we’ve needed to focus on some firm expenses, we do not feel that it is fair to suggest that we do not invest in our employees. Our latest data shows that our associates have on average 94 hours of learning/training in a year; benchmark data indicates that this is ahead of most other firms. Additionally, our associates do still have the opportunity to expense “associate connections,” an opportunity to grab coffee or lunch with other Loft9 associates to share stories, swap best practices and simply connect. Finally, to your point regarding the types of roles available, many consulting firms will have a blend of project based and staff augmentation work, especially if they have managed services as we do. In our perspective it is important to have the right balance, something we work at constantly. We understand we didn’t get it right in your perspective, and apologize again for that misalignment, but we are proud of the work our amazing associates do with our fantastic clients. We value openness and direct feedback, thank you again for sharing. If you’d like to share more about your perspectives on the firm please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly, you probably still have my contact information but just in case, ebeals@loft9consulting.com. Thank you
