Current Employee – been working at Navigant Consulting full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Interesting, innovative work on the cutting edge of health care transformation.

Cons – Silo/ turf mentality between the various business units forces us to have to "re-create" the wheel for client engagements, instead of building off our previous successes.

Advice to Senior Management – Smart, happy, engaged employees are the key to success in consulting, but the Navigant culture does not promote that. No raises were given this year to "highly compensated ADs;" metrics changed without any notice at the end of the year that negatively impacted bonuses. There is a lack of transparency in this environment.
