Hard working group of people with zero business or client account strategy - Senior Consultant River Partnership Employee Review

Sociable company with staff events Lots of learning opportunities People take the time to teach juniors Non-hierarchical Interesting projects Good work life balance

None that I can think of.

- Excellent leadership; regular weekly appraisals help keep performance on track. You are able to have frank conversations that never feel confrontational or overly KPI focused - Reasonably rapid promotion if you do well - as a junior employee make about four placements and you're on your way - Opportunity to develop own ideas and pursue new business ideas - a lot of freedom (providing you can make the business case!) - You work with genuinely high-tier clients: River punches above its weight in this regard - Doesn't feel to "salesy" - the atmosphere of the company echoes that of that of its tier 1 clients - there's no "boiler room" style feel - Good company nights out and reward schemes for good performance

- Not really something River should worry about fixing, as I understand the reasoning behind it: be aware that while you are an "Associate Consultant" (so for graduates/junior employees) your commission is capped at a few hundred pounds per placement, which can suck a little when you make a high-value placement! This ceases to be an issue once you've been promoted (Consultant+) as River's commission is very competitive from that point on. I believe that one of the reasons River does this is because it means there's more incentive for junior employees to make those initial placements and get promoted!
