Loft9 Consulting Response
7y
Thanks for the 5-star review! I apologize for the delayed response – as you are likely aware, we’ve been working through a full review of Loft9’s pay ranges and benefits as compared to our local market, and were hoping to be able to share some of those findings in this reply. Before I dive into progress toward greater transparency around the Loft9 compensation model, I would like to acknowledge your positive comments. I couldn’t agree more with you – we are fortunate to have truly fantastic associates, which is the foundation for our high-quality culture. We’re also pleased with our client growth - so far 8 new clients this year! Expanding our client base does offer a larger variety of projects for our associates. As Loft9 grows, we recognize the importance for also advancing our compensation model and associate benefit offerings. To that end, our HR team is working on a three-phased plan focused on bringing greater transparency for associates around Loft9 total rewards. The first part was just completed (a full market analysis looking at how Loft9 compares to the market in pay/benefits – pleased to report that our 2018 ranges have shifted slightly to better align with market); the second part will be educating our Associate Development Providers (associate mentors) on how pay is determined for each associate; and the third part will be offering greater visibility for associates. We expect there will be some good questions along the way, and also know this can’t happen overnight. We’d appreciate your feedback as this evolves – either directly to the Partners or to our HR Director, Sarah. Feedback can also be shared in the upcoming benefit survey (expected by end of August). Thanks again for the great review!

Pros

Leadership is strong - the team running the show from a strategic and firm wide level are intelligent, capable and rationale. Great culture for personal and professional development - they pay for my personal and professional development (certifications in PMP, etc) Great firm wide events and support (financially and otherwise) Associate connections on off work hours - they've invested considerable resources in a Health and Effectiveness Lead to preserve the firm culture that has earned them the reputation as one of the best consulting firms in Seattle L9 is growing quickly but not erratically - Leadership is very invested in long term sustainable growth. Associate's EQs are on par with IQs - this company understands the value of relationships and recruits people who can deliver exceptional value and build relationships with clients Opened a Denver office in 2013 - this will attract an even greater talent pool Recruiting process is solid - wonderful office managers, recruiters, and Organizational Leads drive a pleasant experience for candidates

Cons

There can be better transparency of hiring needs between Biz Dev and firm associates - I've invested significant time with people i thought would be excellent fits and they were passed on because they didn't (paraphrasing) "match with staffing needs and anticipated consulting roles" - to better stock the referral applicant pool, associates need more robust feedback on how to more effectively find the right people. Loft has hired a more proactive Recruitment Lead to bridge this gap so I anticipate this "Con" being remedied by end of 2014
