Huron Consulting Group Reviews

Pros

The teams really care about each other. Good environment to do meaningful work for their clients. Lots of opportunity for learning and advancement.

Cons

Large variance in quality of consultants. The vast majority are extremely strong but some weaker ones that put projects at risk.

Advice to Management

Review lower performers more frequently and create road maps to performance improvement that is meaningful and actionable. Improve communication to teams, with the regional offices there is a lot of information that does not make it out of the headquarters.

Pros

Great opportunity for professional growth

Cons

Poor work life balance, as is expected with consulting

Pros

Great coworkers. Great PTO policy. Working remote is encouraged

Cons

Can get overwhelming. Org chart shuffled around a lot.

Cons

I haven't experienced any cons for Huron

Advice to Management

Keep doing the good work

Pros

Good benefits Good company if you are young

Cons

Depending on Project Leader the work life balance can be bad. Also the organization likes young people out of college and promotes them upward without industry experience very quickly. The implementation ROIs are based on other individual assessments who are focused on sales. Hard to implement unrealistic benefit but you are held accountable for it.

Advice to Management

Rely on people who have been in industry for assessment opportunity levels

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Some very fun and enjoyable people working there - Company culture leans more startup-like - Ping pong, great snacks, beer on tap

Cons

- HHSG is one of the worst companies I have ever seen in terms of management. They are absolutely abysmal at creating software and managing. - The worst employees are regularly promoted to the top, and once the employees are at the top they are unremovable - Product management is unbelievably inept. They are so inept the entire company is aware of this, yet due to decades of tenure from this team they are unable to removed. I was literally told by upper management to accept that we will never have good product management. - Promotion structure involved giving you the responsibility of the new job with no pay or promotion backing it with "promises" of the pay and promotion in the future - Poor stewards of technology: Their main product and biggest cash cow was neglected, shoved aside, and exploited while the underlying infrastructure of the product crumbled. Quick features and bugfixes to save contracts. Never did they take the time to refactor the product or fix serious infrastructural issues.

Advice to Management

Stop, slow down, and assess what you have. Get smart people to look at your core products and make them strong. Stop being so overly focused on metrics and scorecards to look good for larger Huron.

Pros

extremely intelligent and motivated ambitious people

Cons

travel! the work life balance is really hard.

Advice to Management

staff consultants on projects that align with their interests from the get-go to retain more consultants.
