Pros

Some of the most brilliant people I've worked with. Small company in a good way - high visibility to the highest of management. They genuinely care about wellbeing and health.

Cons

It's always been fully remote as a model. Be sure this works for you - it was tough on me.

Pros

Company culture and leadership are great. Focusing on revenue growth was very satisfying and lead to great relationships with clients

Cons

Work can be intense and long hours. Burnout is a major risk. The firm is trying to improve this but depending on the project and leader, it can get tough at times

Pros

Amazing opportunity to learn from former McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc. consultants - many of whom also have significant executive experience (e.g., SVP, C-Suite) I have only traveled when it was really needed (e.g., to interview clients in person), which has come to about 10 - 20% overall. This is *not* the Mon - Thu every single week travel schedule you see at other consulting companies Working from home is great for me Great constructive feedback culture combined with structured expectations framework take the guesswork out of what you need to do to excel at your current position, or make it to the next one Everyone is encouraged and expected to fully contribute and push back as needed - while egos and titles may rule at other firms, facts and logic rule at Blue Ridge. Anyone can "crack the case" here, regardless of title, experience, or tenure Emphasis on ethics and doing the right thing for our clients makes me proud to work here - and keeps the work coming, based on our great reputation Huge variety of industries always keeps things interesting Focus on revenue growth definitely feels better than cost-cutting work Explosive growth provides great opportunities for advancement Despite this explosive growth, management has kept the standards for hiring very high and won't let those standards lapse just to get more "arms and legs". We would rather turn away business than hire people who do not meet our standards

Cons

Still a small firm, which means infrastructure and benefits can be more limited than one might be used to at, say, Fortune 500 companies. But they're not bad If you don't like direct feedback, this company is not for you (but if you view direct feedback as a great opportunity for improvement, then you've found the right place!) Hours can be long sometimes, especially due diligence projects. You are expected to put in a minimum of 10 hours per weekday (50 hours/week). I usually stick to right about that number, but have heard some go over that number regularly. Still, this seems like similar or even fewer hours overall compared to other consulting firms, especially when the lower travel is taken into consideration
