Pros

My team members - I can't wait to have them on my team again. There are some very smart consultants at this company and I'm so happy I had the chance to work and learn from them.

Cons

- Unify's three core values (or principles) are consultant first, run lean and meritocracy. All three are fallacies. Consultant first - unless it's inconvenient or costs money. Run lean is synonymous with cheap when it comes to the important things (benefits, time off, support staff), and frankly just not true when it comes to ridiculously extravagant events. Meritocracy - come on, it's 2020, I think at this point we all know this is a fallacy in society, and it is at Unify as well. - The worst executive team I have ever worked with. They couldn't come up with a strategic plan for the company if it slapped them in the face. - The CEO is unclear of why there is a "bro culture" mentality - yet, you will hear him hooping and hollering in his office with a bunch of other white, middle-aged men and very rarely interact with any of his employees unless it can benefit him in some way. In addition, I have never seen an executive treat their support staff worse than him. I don't say that lightly, it made me sick at some points. - No strategy on what companies they do work with and company ethics are not evaluated. If you have $ Unify will come. Overall, not a lot of good things coming from Unify. I have never left a company with such negative feelings and hoping that it doesn't work out for them, and that feels truly awful. If you are interviewing at Unify I encourage you to ask as many questions as you can, they are very good at selling you on something it is not. I was told this was a grade A leadership team, I could not have had a more opposite experience and it makes me sad if this is the best leadership you have experienced.

Pros

There are some great people who have been tricked into working for this company by the snake oil salesmen running the show. They may be able to find you a staffing job in IT paying a mid 100k salary even if you have an outdated skill set. Go into it understanding that this is not a consulting company and you will be fired if you hit the "paid" bench. You will also be sold under false pretenses to your hiring manager for a role that may not match your abilities at all. If you're struggling for work, then this may be a way to get into a company and convert. If you do work here and get fired, the biggest positive is everyone that this place screwed over will be more than happy to help you land on your feet.

Cons

Everything about this place is negative. 1. It is ran by a misogynistic group of frat brothers from the pinnacle of higher education, WSU. Being an alumni is enough of a vetting process to be hired. I have also been told by the CEO that I should wear glasses and my hair up to "look smarter". It shouldn't be a surprise that he has had his own #timesup moment at his last real engagement. 2. My manager once told me that they couldn't believe how someone like our CEO got to this position. He was disgusted by him and only hired from us because we usually had good PMs and were substantially cheaper than the competition. We also were more likely to convert to being a FTE even though taking substantial pay decreases. Never take the CEO to meet your manager, if they don't hate him already, they will by the end of the meeting. 3. THIS IS A STAFFING AGENCY. A seat opens up, they need a warm body to fill it. That's it. When it comes time to roll-off, be prepared to be fired. No one is a "friend of the firm" after working here. If you roll off early, the brain trust will determine if you're economically viable or will at least hold their feet for a keg stand. 4. You will be expected to be a salesman when in your position. I was repeatedly spoken to for spending too much of my day on "Matisia Business" when being pressured by the account management team and sales person to "get strategic." What a joke. 5. The best talent is gone or leaving. Not only are a majority of the staff NOT from the "Big 4", most have zero real consulting experience. And you will be asked to push a resume to your manager for someone who has hit the bench who in no way is qualified to fill the position. That's always fun. 6. Take all reviews with a grain of salt but the positive ones are fabricated by the internal team. It should be very obvious which are real and which aren't.

All feedback is valuable to us, regardless of how Unify is portrayed. We disagree with many of the conclusions you’ve drawn and know they grossly mischaracterize our consultant experience. At the same time, your perceptions and conclusions were your reality, tied to your departure and became the basis for your review. In light of your experience, it sounds like you’ll be happier working elsewhere; there was clearly a disconnect between who we are and how you experienced us.

Thank you for the feedback, as we take matters of respect and inclusion of all Unifiers seriously. We pride ourselves on being a listening culture with a continual focus on gender issues and inclusion, but by the sounds of it have missed the mark for you. Please reach out to peopleteam@unifyconsulting.com if you have details you'd like to share that have not already been addressed in your offboarding discussion.
