Pros

Culture, people, purpose and projects. Autonomous, self managed culture allows people to shape their development, focus and future. Emphasis on culture and generally a great place to work.

Cons

Expectations on commitment, productivity and performance are incredibly high. Based on expectations, and general performance of whole staff cohort, salaries should be ~20% higher.

Thank you for your comprehensive reflections. It is a tight economic environment, which has impacted the consulting market, along with other sectors. At Nous we aim to pay fairly, and consider remuneration as part of the total employment package and not the primary driver. As a firm, our ethos of positive influence, commitment to clients and collaborative culture underpin our operating model. We set high expectations and hold ourselves accountable to these. We value the opportunity to achieve as much good as we can in the world, and to do so working with great clients and wonderful colleagues.

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.
