Pros

Seriously I struggle to find something positive to say about a business that can't treat people with respect.

Cons

Fahrenheit 212 is an absolute disgrace of a firm and should not even be considered as an innovation consultants. They are merely an advertising firm disguised as innovation consultants to sound as if they are creating any type or real value for their clients. I have worked in the London office for a few years and the way they treats prospective candidates is atrocious. I have seen numerous people interview for the business and jump through hurdles only to not hear back from the business for numerous weeks. They are not a professional company at all, and really do not have respect for the on boarding process or the fact that people should be made aware Regarding the team, they do not have any tangible skills and the nature of the work is very fluffy and and hardly ever does add value to their clients. Innovation consulting firms hardly add value to the bottom line of a business and merely help support the brand strategy brainstorming process of ideas that do not make it to fruition. Finally for people wanting to work with Fahrenheit 212, don't waste your time. You are better of working at a better or more reputable organisation that really has a strong understand about innovation or consulting. This is not the place for a person to start a career or be in there mid career as you don't pick up the necessary skills required to add value when you leave and join a different organisation. They might sound charming and it sounds pleasant when you hear all there talk about money magic, but I can assure you after working here for a while they do not add any magical value for their clients and they certainly are not producing the necessary money to scale into a proper consulting business that helps clients to innovate. My advice, don't waste your time interviewing or working here. Poor culture, poor work and poor exit opportunities.

Pros

I've always found Fahrenheit 212 unique in that it employs extremely intelligent, driven people who are also humble, kind and don't take themselves too seriously. A generalization to be sure, but one that proved true far more often than not in my time there. Senior management roll up their sleeves and set a tone of hard work and high standards from the top. The company is entrepreneurial enough for individuals to develop their own "platform" and launch initiatives to solve operational, cultural or training-related, and have that drive rewarded. The firm's reputation is strong in the market and as a result, lots of interesting challenges from big-name clients come through, and access to the client C-level is not uncommon. Much of the company's work is hailed by clients not just as good, but great. The office is gorgeous, the talent and culture are lovably quirky, and the holiday parties are epic.

Cons

The Capgemini acquisition has added pressure and complexity to many aspects of the company's daily operations and go-to-market efforts, but throughout it all F212 has still maintained its own brand, space and culture (all while still leveraging Capgemini's client base to grow). Promotions can be limited in terms of specific times-of-year and slots available at the partner/VP level. Work hours can be long and unpredictable, but such is consulting - it ebbs and flows.
