Carly Rian Group reviews about "team member"

- Great people and fun environment - Interesting projects (internal and external) - Supportive team members where you get to cultivate strong and lasting friendships - Opportunity to develop a strong network in the public sector and/or financial services and to work in multiple organizations through your projects

- Culture - inclusive and fun - very similar personalities which speaks to how they recruit; team gets together as often as possible (though sadly I was a pandemic CRG resource during my tenure so I didn’t get to see the full extent of this) - People - very smart, driven and supportive team members - Client opportunities - CRG deals with some of the largest companies in Canada (across many industries) - Internal training - management invests in team training - Access to Senior Leadership - engaged regularly with partners and other senior leaders - whether for advice or just to catch up. Felt little to no bureaucracy or politics that you typically feel in other big firms - no need to “play the consulting” game to get noticed, get credit, etc.

CRG is a boutique consulting firm that offers a fantastic opportunity to build your skills and career through management consulting in a supportive, collaborative environment. The team is unique, coming from many different career profiles, but collaborative and supportive. Firm is proactive in scheduling socials and team events to maintain the connection amongst colleagues. There is great respect between team members. Politics-free, positive environment that rewards you (in new experiences, exposure, greater autonomy, compensation, etc.) for performance. Allows you to focus on your career objectives, achieve your goals and experience collective success. Projects are challenging and interesting across a growing breadth of clients.

Culture: management heavily invested in developing talent in terms of both core analytical skills, and leadership capabilities. Team is collaborative, supportive, and enjoys spending time together. Client exposure / exit opps: boutique environment creates great opportunities for client exposure. Many team members left to roles related to past engagements after working closely with executives in strategy, process improvement, and innovation related groups Training: strong investments in creating well-rounded professionals with the analytical capabilities required for leadership roles

- Small firm where everyone rolls up their sleeves , regardless of role - Consultants generally work with one client at a time, which leads to strong and lasting client relationships and results in deliverables that are targeted and valuable (not cookie cutter) - Collegial environment that encourages social connectedness and professional growth - Promotions, raises and bonuses are not just aligned with annual performance management process and can occur at any time throughout the year - Partners are very engaged and generally care about the team

I worked at CRG for a year and a half as a member of the senior leadership team. During my time there, I led large client projects, coached junior team members, and led various internal initiatives. I have nothing but positive feedback for the leadership team and my former colleagues. CRG is a company with high performers that do great work and put in the necessary hours to create high quality deliverables for their clients. The partners and senior leadership team is open to feedback and are committed to continuous improvement. The culture is supportive of learning and open communication. The reason I left was for a unique opportunity in a sector I am passionate about. I would recommend CRG to both new management consultants looking for a place to start their career, as well to those with a lot of experience looking for a place to add value and contribute in a meritocracy.
