Pros

It's a great company to work with. Colleagues are willing to help and invest in the success of each other and the company. Pay and benefits are competitive. A boutique firm feel - which is great in that it gives one the opportunity to help grow the company and culture. Clients are top-tier industry leaders. The work-life balance is good and still provides for career growth and advancement.

Cons

Being a smaller firm means that you are on smaller teams (possibly as an individual contributor) which might be a "con" for some people. It is not for me. The company processes are still maturing which might cause frustration for some. I'm ok with this because what I see from leadership is a dedication to maturing well. The progress that I have experienced has been influenced by the employees. All-in-all what I would hope for from an employer.

Thank you for the kind words and for your patience with our “maturing processes”! We are proud of our collaborative culture, competitive compensation, and benefits as you mentioned in your review. Kyle founded CompassX with the vision of allowing experienced consultants to do great project work for the same big-name clients that they were used to at other big firms. We got our start in the regulated industries space, working for Fortune 500 clients in pharma and healthcare. Years later, we’ve expanded and are now more diversified across many industries such as financial services, restaurant, consumer products, high tech and automotive industries. We’re looking forward to continued growth and opportunities for our talented team of consultants. Glad to have you on our team! - CompassX Executive Leadership Team

Pros

I joined CompassX from a mid-sized consulting firm and so far it's been a great move. I feel like my perspectives and experience are valued and are seen as a benefit to the company, and the people who I work with really seem to care. The work itself feels meaningful, with interesting projects where each win (big or small) seems to have a big impact and celebrated by everyone. Since joining, the practice areas seem to be evolving and maturing, and I've been able to sharpen my skills by being pushed outside my comfort zone at times. Unlike my last company, there are no mandatory CompassX office days, but I know where the leaders or colleagues are each week if I want to meet in person. I've also enjoyed the in person events and other team meet ups,

Cons

As it's a small firm, sometimes there can be missing pieces or gaps e.g. there aren’t always standardized tools, predefined templates or playbooks like at larger consultancies. Sometimes this means more freedom to do things your own way, but can be frustrating if starting from scratch too often. The teams are pretty lean so work can get busy for short bursts of time to meet client expectations. Also need to be willing to wear multiple hats or flex into other areas to keep the show on the road.
