      I have been working at Huron Consulting Group full-time for more than 3 years

      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.

      I have been working at Huron Consulting Group full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      - You'll rack-up a lot of air miles and hotel points. - If you don't have friends or family and want to work 24x7 you'll do great.

      Cons

      - Work-life balance is non-existent. They tout the unlimited vacation but you will never truly get to "sign-off". - Management will start an engagement before the right resources are available which leads to people working multiple projects. - Values are talked about a lot but never lived. Quality is not important.

      Advice to Management

      Hire skilled functional consultants rather than just seat fillers. Scrap unlimited vacation.
