Toxic culture with no HR support - Associate Consultant alliantgroup, LP Employee Review

Expanding company with significant upside. Great comp packages and very quick growth opportunities. Benefits packages are over the top too.

High expectations around client experience can lead to high work load periods. It’s always been worth it in the the end but it’s definitely not a 9-5.

-Free(ish) cafe is awesome and the workers there are so nice -The building is cool -Relatively diverse -I had great relationships with my coworkers -One of the happiest days of my life was when I left the building for the last time

-Unclear job descriptions, constantly shifting responsibilities -Fraudulent billing practices towards clients was RAMPANT and encouraged. I think they've switched from hourly based billing but you were essentially punished for not overbilling -One time our team was brought in one by one to our managers office and asked to identify who the "weakest link" was on our team -Very strict about time off during the 5 months of tax season. I was once asked to cancel a trip I received approval for months in advance and when I refused I was asked to write an email to my supervisors explaining my decision and apologizing -Cliquey culture all the to the top, a lot of weird competitive stuff. Upward mobility requires a lot of playing games -HR doesn't help and can even be condescending -Desk arrangements changed all the time -Its understood you work a lot in the consulting industry but the lack of flexibility and staying until 6:30 everyday is very tough
