Nexight Group Reviews

Nexight is a great place to work. It's at a size that allows you to see some growth and potential of the company, but it's still small enough that you can really get to know your colleagues. Mutual respect is big, and people at all levels in the company value your work. Management listens to you and acknowledges when things can improve--and unlike many other places, will take steps to make wrongs right. Company culture promotes mutual collaboration and team effort. It can be seen as a pro or a con, depending on your personality, but because it's a smaller company you will wear many "hats," as another reviewer mentioned. I enjoyed being able to learn new skills that would make me a well rounded independent consultant, were I ever to take that route. You can appreciate the company's commitment to transparency regarding business development matters. Management celebrates the wins but acknowledges the losses. Keeps you grounded. Also they are diligent about composting and other environmentally-conscious practices at the office...and employees have good taste in beer. In all seriousness, this might be one of the only places I've ever worked where I felt that if I had a legitimate concern with management or business/HR practices, I could bring it up and feel like my voice matters.

•Nexight's approach to "employee reviews" places greater focus on individual career development and personal goals than job performance. The principals developed and continually update a guidance document known as the "Career Roadmap" which helps employees identify which types of consulting skills to advance in alignment with their career advancement needs. •Another Nexight-developed career development initiative, the "Mentorship Program," is a semi-annual colleague-pairing program that provides employees with the opportunity to speak privately about non-HR topics such as managing complex client dynamics, ideas for improving company offerings, or general career advice. Employees are strongly encouraged to meet for coffee or lunch on the company's dime. •Although the typical workday is 8:30 to 5, Nexight Group is extremely reasonable about coordinating with its employees to set flexible work schedules. All employees are provided with the necessary resources to work remotely during extreme weather events or unusual travel conditions that may cause nasty traffic jams. •Nexight's principals are amenable to its employees' suggestions for new company initiatives and activities—especially if they have a positive societal impact. One such idea led to the creation of a community service program in which the company allows employees to charge a determinate number of hours to participate in community service activities such as making and serving meals at a children's hospital or volunteering at a community donation center. •The employees organize semi-frequent (and often food-centric) events including bagel days, waffle days, and pot-lucks that boost company morale and camaraderie. They recently started a monthly after-hours board game night, and they sometimes end the week socializing in the kitchen over beer and wine. •My co-workers are caring, thoughtful, conscientious, and intellectually curious individuals.
