Great coworkers but poor management - Associate Consultant Makse Group Employee Review

Strong commitment to client experience. Excels at giving PMs and project teams the tools and autonomy to drive adoption success. Partners closely with clients on outcome focused strategies that make transitions smooth and impactful. Makse Group invests heavily in people, methodology, templates, and client satisfaction metrics, which directly tie into collaborative teams, rapid career opportunities, and regular recognition. Teams are invested in and empowered to build and influence processes, and methodology - promoting the innovation needed to make every project better. Collaborative culture, strong mentorship, and emphasis on empathy-driven consulting make this an outstanding place to advance in the people side of Workday projects.

Steadfast focus on client outcomes requires nimbleness, collaboration, and innovative problem solving. If you are looking to bring your skills and experience to work as a team to see the positive outcomes of what you are doing and deliver great work for clients, this is an amazing place to be. If you are looking for a run-of-the-mill consulting gig, this won't be the right team for you.

If you’re considering a tour of duty here, you need the ground truth. It’s not all smoke and mirrors—the checks clear on time and the benefits are exactly what’s written on the tin. If you're lucky enough to land on a stable project with a veteran crew, you might actually experience a "normal" 9-to-5. But those pockets of peace are the exception, not the rule.

The Culture: Management by Chaos The atmosphere isn't just unprofessional; it’s volatile. The leadership operates with a "Thunderdome" mentality, seemingly finding sport in terminations. You can expect: The Blast Zone: A total absence of professional filters. Screaming and cursing aren't rare occurrences—they’re the local dialect. Zero Loyalty: Everyone is fair game for a verbal thrashing, from internal staff and "disposable" employees to Workday and the clients themselves. Operational Whiplash The internal strategy is essentially "throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks." Policy by Whim: New procedures are rolled out via one-sentence mandates and retracted just as quickly. Human Shields: When an engagement starts sinking, the standard move is to toss more people into the fire and hope for a miracle. The Exit Strategy (Or Lack Thereof) The revolving door at this place is spinning so fast it’s a wonder the building stays upright. A quick scan of LinkedIn will show you a graveyard of short tenures. The Dignity Tax: Most people with self-respect hit the exits the moment they realize the "disposable" nature of the workforce. The Final Act: Don't expect a handshake or a severance package. Involuntary turnover is in the double digits, and if you try to give a standard notice, don't be surprised if you're shown the door immediately. Bottom Line: If you're looking for stability or a professional sanctuary, keep walking. This is a high-stress, low-security environment where "burn and turn" is the primary setting.
