smart people, poor communication - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei nd-Insight: Mitarbeiterbewertung

You get to take on much more responsibilities than in other firms as an associate or analyst. The projects have plenty of depth and scope and it's up to you to make or break the project. The senior management has incredible connections across Canada, enabling the firm to punch above its weight in terms of project profiles. They also have a lot of industry knowledge and experience that they can bring to bear. It was a really rewarding experience- with a lot of flexibility afforded to the employees as long as the work was done.

It can be hard for those used to structure or for those looking for detailed coaching; the senior management is often out building the business. Some projects were too large for the junior staff or those without industry experience. .

The learning curve was fantastic: I received immediate exposure to senior executives from our various clients and and was highly accountable for end to end project work. Once I had sufficient experience with core consulting work I was immediately given management/leadership responsibilities.

There were some significant infrastructure gaps and the recruitment process was not very well managed. Also, the steep learning curve was too much of a stretch for some of the more junior staff.
