Strategic Capacity Group Reviews

SCG is a smaller organization; therefore, you can truly make a tremendous impact on the organization with the work you do. Management is very receptive to new ideas. The employees you will work with at SCG are some of the best in the industry. 21 days of PTO is very generous and almost unheard of in the Finance/Accounting industry with many companies starting at just 15/16 days. You will also receive ALL federal holidays, there are no floating holidays, which is appreciated. The HQ office is in a very convenient location in McLean, VA. This makes commuting easier and parking optimal. You will not need to pay for parking at SCG and if you decide to utilize public transit, you will receive a monthly stipend. There is also a very nice gym at the HQ office and Metro is a quick walk, you can see the station from the office. If you are willing to get your hands dirty and work some overtime, it will pay dividends in the long run, especially if you are starting out in your career (1-3 years post undergrad). SCG is also still operating on a hybrid schedule with remote work options. The Director of Finance is also very flexible to your specific needs and will accommodate you the best they can. For example, I work on a flex schedule (7am - 4pm) and SCG has been very accommodating with that. The Finance and Accounting team is also comprised of very tenured industry professionals who have been nothing but a pleasure to work with.

Strategic Capacity Group (SCG) does meaningful and impactful work around the world. SCG's salaries are more than competitive and I have never worked at a place with so many promotion opportunities. If you like to travel around the world, there are many positions that will allow you to do so; you may end up traveling through Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, or Latin America. Please note that not all positions are traveling positions. Regardless of what other reviews may say, diversity is significantly high across positions. In upper management (Deputy Directors and above) you will find that just over 50% are women and about 50% are people of color (POC). Most importantly, regardless of whether you are a POC or not, what will determine your success is coming up with solutions to solve challenges (thought diversity). If you are good at this, you will get quickly promoted. SCG also has weekly happy hours, great snacks, and really spacious office settings for everyone (during Covid, most people are teleworking). Its current location offers an amazing gym with saunas and it's close to a metro station. SCG also offers a transportation stipend or a parking space (employee's choice), and a 401K matching contribution plan.
