Pros

Gives you good experience at the cost of your life

Cons

Very toxic environment. Upper management only looks out for themselves. You’ll notice most positive reviews on here are from directors and managers because they get to do as the please while all below are treated like crap. It’s equivalent to politicians making military calls from an office building while the soldiers are dying on the battle field. They will drown you in work and once you burn out they’ll kick you to the curb. Most of the management consists of people that started there shortly after the company began. They don’t have any real world experience. They also don’t have any knowledge of how things are now, because for them, it was nice and small when they started so the workload was lower and the business was more personal. They also moved up quickly and then created barriers to prevent others from moving up quickly, protecting their space and shares in the company. They are also hilariously condescending in all company calls. They are just a joke. Compensation is also far lower than competitors. You can leave and get a 50+% increase. If you want to work here, do it for a year just you can leave for the big pay increase elsewhere. Use them like they’ll use you.

Pros

Great people at the lower levels. Good benefits. Good compensation. Many positive things about this company. Read the cons for the brutal truth that soured any good reputation they had.

Cons

I worked for Spaulding Ridge for a short period of time and successfully completed all training and expectations given to me. Spaulding Ridge hired too many people in hopes that more hands would mean more profit, but when that didn't turn out to be the case, multiple new employees were laid off despite moving and leaving other jobs for the company. There was no warning period for the lay offs, nor any time given to pass off current projects. Direct management was not even notified until after employees were let go. Beware this company. The moment their financial forecast isn't as black as they want, they will gut employees.

Pros

Weekly happy hours if you believe that is a good substitute for being worked beyond reason for the other 4 days of the week.

Cons

This job singlehandedly cured me of my toxic behaviors of unrewarded overachieving, constant perfectionism, and driving myself to burnout over a job. Working with Spaulding Ridge meant many nights of working late, only to wake up in the middle of the night in a panic over an unrealistic deadline that my Solution Architect set the week prior. Leaving Spaulding Ridge was the best decision that I could’ve made for my mental and physical health, meanwhile my career and pay stubs are flourishing. The investment in the technical development of Analysts and Associates is wishful thinking at best whilst being thrown into the deep end is a harsh everyday reality. Too many in leadership are working in their positions as a function of their ability to weather the storm and gain tenure, rather than their ability to lead, teach, and delegate tasks. Analysts and Associates are seen as numbers rather than people and investments which means careless shuffling across practice lines with no less expectation to deliver. The company will continue to wonder why top talent chooses to leave after a year, rather than make distinguishable changes. Transparency is quickly dwindling, much like the lack of communication besides the acknowledgment that bonuses will not be fully paid out. Best of luck to anyone who believes the fake reviews on this page and steps into this minefield of a company.
