Pros

-Partners and managers lead through encouragement and positive reinforcement making for a positive consulting environment -Work that clients truly pay attention to and use to make tough decisions -Visible ownership of work: Consultants' and Associates' role as the drivers of Voice of Customer interviews is communicated to clients, and Consultants are encouraged to speak up and present to clients regardless of seniority -Opportunities to work on a lot of different topics for both Fortune 100 and PE clients -Integrity of analysis: consultants at GRAPH carry out a true research process based on primary research - we are NEVER asked to fit our analysis into predetermined story lines that are not backed by evidence -Partners put a lot of thought into internal processes, marketing, business development, etc. when they started GRAPH, which has made for smooth internal processes as the company has grown -Fast growing company -Competitive benefits in terms of health insurance, compensation, retirement, and vacation time

Cons

- Growing pains of a small company, but partners do a great job communicating to us what we can realistically expect and the thought process behind the decisions they make -Hours can be long and unpredictable similar to any consulting job, but low frequency of travel and flexibility to work at home at night makes it a lot more manageable

Pros

Great people who are very collaborative and eager to learn/teach. Everyone is willing to help one another out and pitch in. Emphasis on integrity and shaping analyses around data/inputs collected by the team and not pre-determined hypotheses. Flatter structure and entrepreneurial firm culture offers opportunity to be a thought partner (internally and on projects) and for room to grow. You are able to have many varied work opportunities since projects span a wide range of industries and the work is fast-paced.

Cons

Workload can be demanding/unpredictable, though that’s common in this industry and there is generally a focus on work-life balance from most team leaders Growing pains associated w/ rapid growth

Pros

There's never a boring moment at GRAPH. The people are intelligent and fun to work with, and the projects are high impact, spanning a number of different industries and verticals. Standards are kept high at all times, and in return, we're able to create great value for our clients. The work culture is collegial, which is in part instilled by a very flat structure. Management values integrity and has an exciting vision for GRAPH's future development. GRAPH's accomplishments within 2 years are already a reflection on management's competency in leading the firm.

Cons

Given the high work demand and some projects that have short timelines, long hours are many times necessary to get the work done - not atypical for a consulting startup.
