Risk Advisory - CLT Uptown - Consultant DHG Employee Review

Pros

Compensation, Benefits (with the exception of 401k), friendly people, abundance of learning materials, trainings and functions are very well orchestrated, no issues with work/life balance, great referral program (although I would never pull any true friends into this)

Cons

Don't bother telling management what you want to do, and don't bother applying to a certain line of business within Risk Advisory... they don't care, and won't consider what your career goals and interests are. No 401k match, no transparency surrounding available projects, project deployment based on contracts which can be lengthy, consultants are forgotten once out on projects, management could not care less about whether or not you are actually being challenged on your projects, "Jean Friday" is heavily promoted and frowned upon at the same time since everyone is too good to wear jeans but not too good to donate to charity, firm preaches about you being a "valued professional" but strikes out privileges that would involve any amount of trust (expense policy, MiFi Hotspots, working from home).

Pros

The firm is very "family" oriented. Easy to make friends when you start (and senior leadership expects you to make friends at work) The amount of work is reasonable and you will not work more than 50-55 hours a week The office in uptown Charlotte is nice and you are provided with resources to succeed Smaller firm and you will know almost everyone who works there More interaction with high level partners DHG knows they are good at Regulatory and Compliance work and they stay in that field- there aren't a variety of other projects

Cons

The firm is very passive aggressive. Leaders avoid any confrontation or direct feedback This is not a consulting job, it is a high level auditor position- you will pre-auditing to ensure companies are in compliance before the "actual" auditors arrive Company does not like Type A personalities, as the firm is very Type B- they prefer heads down people who aren't going to overstep the clear boundaries The company wants you to follow a very specific formula- easy to tell the advisory practice is derived from auditors- if you deviate form formula, it will bother the leadership, even if you are successful, remember this is not a real consulting job They have many processes in place that need to be fixed- DHG is a relatively new firm that is learning how to get better Technology is lacking behind peers Mentorship program is very weak- focusing more on a personal level than professional guidance
