Launchpad opportunity - Principal Consultant BlueGranite Employee Review

flexible, good communication, supportive team

it was acquired by a private equity company in 2022 that absolutely ruined the culture and reduced the product quality SIGNIFICANTLY.

The culture at BlueGranite is to empower the consultants with the tools they need to do a great job, including even professional development. The team is made up of extremely intelligent people with a client-is-always-first approach as they do their work. They don't take the interview process lightly and the expectations are set very high once people are in the door. They're selective on the projects and clients taken on, righteously so, making this a very unique place for consultants.

The onboarding process may need a little refinement. It can get confusing quickly due to the learning curve, and having a more organized process to onboard a new employee (most elements could be standardized) can go a long way. Working from home is a perk (and a must), however, it can be a double-edged sword. The negative aspects of working from home are usually ignored. The pay is somewhat competitive, however, the job market is extremely competitive in this field making it appealing for anyone to consider other job opportunities for higher pay. The time allowed for professional development seems fair, theoretically. With the workloads and high expectations for each project, it is difficult for anyone to focus on professional development without somehow making a big sacrifice. But due to working with technology that is constantly changing, investing in development opportunities is critical to everyone's success.
