Pros

I have been there long enough and worked in many projects so I can make these observations: - Recommended for folks interested in finance/accounting and related disciplines - Not recommended for folks in IT, project management or software delivery - Neutral opinion for engineering/chemical disciplines, although promising as they remain mostly independent of the other silos - Great partners, MDs and teams in finance, accounting, outsourcing, valuation, engineering, etc. - Cannot say the same about the Process & Technology consulting partners and some MDs - Good office location with nice office decor - Almost all partners demonstrate a genuine interest in your well being - Projects are challenging and clients appreciate your work - Decent salary and so-so bonus - Good camaraderie at the lower levels of the organization - Great Christmas and summer pool party

Cons

Unfortunately, the good also has the bad. In this case, I am not happy with some of the ways they handle situations and people: - Limited professional development - OK for early career but of no impact to others with some or advanced experience - You are only as good as the skills you bring with you or learn on your own - Individual personality analytics provided by a third party not necessarily for your benefit - Bench management is horrible - unless you proactively manage project assignments, you will be fired no matter whether you are there 5 weeks or 5 years - nobody has your back! - Need to eliminate some of the major consulting firm bad traits that made their way into this organization

Pros

The culture at Opportune is one of the best parts of working here. It's supportive, extremely collaborative, and actually fun. People care about each other and celebrate each other’s wins. There are tons of opportunities to connect with others across the firm, from formal networking events like happy hours, conferences, and cross-functional meetings to informal moments like our twice-weekly office lunches and hallway conversations. It feels natural to build relationships here, and those relationships make work feel meaningful and energizing. It's the kind of place where you actually want to come to work. One of the best things about Opportune, and something I see every day, is how directly those who are just starting their careers get to work with leadership. At other big companies, you might never get face time with senior leaders, but here they’re in the trenches with teams daily, mentoring and listening. That makes a huge difference in how supported people feel and how quickly they grow. With that said, there is so much room to grow here if you want it. If you speak up, ask questions, and raise your hand for more, you will absolutely be met with encouragement, guidance, and opportunity. People want to see you succeed and they will go out of their way to help you do it. Another major plus is the work-life balance. You are trusted to do great work, and still have a life outside of it. People respect your time and your boundaries, which is rare.

Cons

Things can get busy during peak periods, but the teamwork and communication make it manageable.
