Pros

Tyton mostly recruits incredibly intelligent, kind people with the selling point that they are a strategy consulting firm for education.

Cons

Senior leadership has lost a lot of trust among staff. An unexpected last-minute decision was announced to withdraw visa support for employees. These people were told a week before the filing deadline giving them no time to find a new job and lose a chance at staying in the country by losing a whole year in the H1B lottery process. One was even fired a month after. Keep in mind these people have a super limited amount of time to find another job that will sponsor them (less than 3 months). High turnover. Says they are impact driven but even senior leadership knows that they are not an organization like "Bridgespan" Terrible DEI and definitely terrible retention. Ask how many people want to leave at the moment and that number would probably be much higher than they expect. New hires were told with less than a month notice that their start date would be pushed back. Likely they had already moved to the city and no financial assistance was offered. The only two Black junior consultants were promoted significantly slower than their peers.

Pros

Ed-focused strategy (real strategy) consulting with a "mission-to-market" orientation. Pretty unique niche so perfect for those wanting the rigor of a top-tier strategy firm (and comp not far off) with an explicit focus on companies/ orgs/ topics in education. Great people.

Cons

Still working to reset its culture and to align the team behind a unifying purpose and set of values. Earnest efforts in place. Can seem "top heavy" for a smaller shop.

Pros

Every person I worked with was kind, smart, and brought something unique to the table. Folks are smart, considerate, and usually have professional experience in education that makes them considerate of education issues. There is real expertise at the firm. Zero hostility, and conflict was always resolved amicably. For junior team members, there was a real effort to build a community and social aspect to the office. You'll get exposure to a lot of different types of projects. They aren't a one-trick pony shop. You can climb the ladder quickly.

Cons

Hours were consistently much longer than what hiring team and management stated in interview process/onboarding. This is not a 9-5 job. Most of senior team is remote, while junior team is required to be in-office 3 days per week in Boston. This makes it more difficult for junior team members to get exposure and learn from leadership.
