Great Company Focused on Program and Project Management - Anonymous employee Tramore Group Employee Review

- they sometimes get interesting projects (which as an independent consultant you might not get by yourself) within the banking sector. - knowledgeable and seasoned practioners

- the partners (specially the president) still live in an era that ended at least 20 years ago. Very archaic way of running a firm. - the clients who used to give them work are mostly retiring from their positions and they don't get many interesting projects to work on anymore. - there are full time employees sitting on the bench for months and in some cases for over a year - no support for the practitioners who are at the client sites. The top management is focused only on sales - although they present themselves as a cutting edge consulting firm but they have no standard processes or training programs in place. As a consultant you are just on your own. - all the clients question 'value preposition' and pricing of Tramore resources, which is hard to justify. Its better to go independent and charge half the price to client and justify the value that you bring to the table.

The company is an exemplar of the old boys' network. They get plum assignments that are very interesting, challenging, and prestigious. The clients are Canada's largest companies (mainly financial - big banks and insurance). Your colleagues are generally going to be very good at what they do.

Management's attitude is "We hire professionals - you shouldn't need us." What that translates to is "We get credit when things go well, and blame you when they don't." They pay you decently but charge your time to the client at ~$200 / hour. You are encouraged to work long hours because they charge for your time, though your compensation is salary based.
