Pros

Some consultants are friendly, welcoming and helpful

Cons

They demand long hours, senior consultants are rude and arrogant, start-up company with little to no support in your role, HR sucks and benefits suck Tried to be more active about diversity and inclusion, but no concrete results

I am sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience at Nous. Nous has been in operation for close to 25 years. We have the agility and aspiration of a start up, however with 800 employees and a long track record of delivering positive influence I don't think we meet the start up definition. We do believe in self-management as part of our culture, meaning we provide guardrails and support, rather than an over reliance on structure, policy and hierarchy.

Always tough to read a harsh review. As the CPO I take responsibility for the vision, style and approach of the people team. I would hope that we are not stuck in the middle ages, but rather are open minded and progressive. I apologise if our approach to EDI is embarrassing as we pay attention to it and it is important to us. We get positive feedback from Nousers on our inclusive culture and the continued improvement around this important aspect of work and society, while recognising that we can always be better and that the world doesn't sit still so we must be open to ongoing improvement and change. We will keep working at it.

Thank you for your review. Our value proposition is interesting work that delivers positive influence, working alongside great people where you can learn quickly and have fun. Our market positioning for remuneration is more aligned with the Big 4 than the MBB (McKinsey, Boston, Bain).
