Pros

Pros: Team - in the beginning there were some really bright people and fun people to hang around to collaborate on projects to ensure client deliverables were met. Lunch - Free lunch once a week which can save money since most restaurants in the Flatiron area are expensive.

Cons

Cons: Senior Leadership: There is no communication from the leadership group to the rest of the organization. Employees are often left in the dark as what is happening to the company short and long term, which leads to uneasiness to the small team that is currently left. Company mission: Centric Digital is constantly re-inventing itself to compete with the larger consulting firms i.e Deloitte, Accenture and McKinsey. It’s hard to have motivation when no one is bought into what the company stands for. Career Growth: Non-existent, there is no outlook for growth and training is not offered to pick up soft and hard skills for those looking to grow their careers. Turnover rate: What used to be an organization with over 50 people and multi-city offices has now declined to less than 20 as the majority of people have left to better positions. At first it was shocking when someone was submitting their notice since we are so small, but eventually it became a repeated cycle.

Pros

Great Team - everyone really works well with each other and enjoy working individually and in groups. Good sense of comradery amongst the teams. I moved on for person reasons which did not have to do with the job.

Cons

Long hours, but they are rewarding given what we are working on for the client. Also, the benefits balance things out. Flexible schedule also helps - other than that there were no negatives.

Pros

​- ​Coworkers are all nice people and they all work hard/are willing to pitch in when there's an influx in client work. - HR is very personable - best HR I've ever worked with - Events like birthday lunches and weekly lunches make it a nice work setting for connecting with your team - Flexible working schedule, people understand if you need to duck out of the office for a doctor's appointment or a day to work from home - Work/life balance is good, albeit partly due to ebb/flow of client work and bandwidth

Cons

- The company culture only cares about billable work and staying billable. Not conducive for thought leadership work - The process for new business development and sales is an absolute joke. No real resources dedicated to it (see above: billability obsession) - Regional offices could be connected better. People often forget that they can (and should) connect with their colleagues in the branch offices in Australia and San Francisco. - Turnover rate is high. Management could do more to address the high turnover. - Have yet to see any training opportunities for career growth or management. While most of the manager-level folks here are great, some of managers here could use serious training in sensitivity and communication. ​- recent client scope replanning has made a mess of the company morale; top down communication is at best vague and infrequent​ and at worst inconsistent and dishonest.
