Pros

Centric has grown organically and thoughtfully over the past 15 years all the while remaining true to core values and principles which hold employee satisfaction in high regard. Even at several hundred employees, we strive to maintain a company culture where each employee feels at home and empowered to voice opinions and champion change where applicable. There are many opportunities for career growth whether it be opportunities to serve in different client facing roles or internal initiatives. Not everyone wants to race to the top and at Centric, you are not penalized for this and can have a fulfilling and rewarding career.

Cons

Centric is a virtual company. We have employees located all over the country and we have geographically organized Business Units which meet on a recurring basis and we meet as a firm several times a year. For those used to or looking for a place where you're surrounded each and every day by your Centric co-workers, the virtual model may present a challenge. We work primarily at the different client sites and much of Centric back office workings are virtual. This may be considered a "con" for those who aren't used to this type of environment or for those needing more corporate structure. Ironically, this is also a "pro" for many!

Centric Consulting Response

Thanks for the post and kind words. I agree with your Pros, Cons, and Advice. While the geographically aligned business unit employees are normally dispersed at clients or working from home, the business units typically try to get together as a business unit pretty regularly for updates and / or social events to build a sense of community, although the frequency and nature of these get togethers does vary from one business unit to another. Definitely a good topic for a recruit discuss with the business unit leadership, so you can make sure it's right for you. We do have a two business units (ERP and our Energy & Utilities practice) that are not geographically aligned (employees live across the country). It is definitely more challenging for these business units to meet frequently as geographically aligned business units, and something that should be taken into account if a recruit is considering joining them. The leadership of these business unit's work harder to have more communication with individuals and project teams, but it's definitely more challenging for these BU's to build that sense of community. Again, a good topic of discussion for a recruit to have with the business unit leadership. Sincerely appreciate your post! Dave

Pros

Mostly self-managed schedule. Very flexible in terms of scheduling and work/life balance.

Cons

The company would benefit from meaningful investment in leadership diversity, not just in stated values, but in who actually holds decision-making power. The current senior leadership is not reflective of the broader workforce or the clients served. Additionally, there’s little to no formal or informal mechanism for employees to influence company direction. Decisions are made at the top and communicated down. Positions of authority are held by people with personal relationships to the founders or other senior leaders, not those with backgrounds or experience with technology or specific types of projects.
