Pros
I joined with the expectation I would meet specific career milestones within a certain period of time, and that is exactly what has happened. The opportunities I've had at Pariveda have given my career an incredible boost with respect to my peers. This is all made possibly by Pariveda's commitment to developing people to their full potential (which is supported by processes meant to bring transparency to growth areas). I've worked with people in several offices and hands down the best part of Pariveda are the people (which we refer to as Fins). Pariveda consistently hires bright and motivated people (often times young and fun too) across all offices, which helps maintain a culture that is truly unique to Pariveda. Work-life balance is something that I've had very-little challenge maintaining at Pariveda. Unlike friends at the "big-4" firms, where careers also get propelled at the expense of burning people out, me and my teams are not being beaten down by unrelenting 60 to 80 hour weeks (which are the norm at those firms). There are weeks that may require extra hours, but they are the exception, not the rule. This has afforded me the opportunity to experience a lot more in life.
Cons
Commutes can be rough, depending on clients, but leadership is sensitive to this and will work to accommodate those teammates. Very focused on growth and ownership, meaning that budget sometimes leans more towards growing new markets and buying back ESOP shares. This sometimes gives the impression that Pariveda does not put enough money towards employee perks like jackets or happy hours (granted, salaries and benefits are great).
