Ember is a hit and miss

Pros

+ If you are lucky and have a sensible boss (which there isn't too many at Ember), your life work balance can be ok + They are quite flexible around your needs as long as it doesn't affect a project or a client

Cons

- The leadership is utterly incompetent - People are treated very differently depending on who they report to - Ember directors will sell anything at any price in any way they can to make money and then leave it for the project team to figure out how to deliver - Huge amount of drama and games played

Ember Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad that overall you have a positive outlook and feel that you’ve had a good work/life balance here, despite the concerns you’ve raised. We’re naturally interested in these, and would love to hear more about the issues you’ve experienced; if there’s a way you’d be comfortable to discuss them with a manager, that would be of real value to us (and hopefully to you). We know that in any organisation there are some conflicts, some difficult personal relationships and some dissatisfaction with management. In general, we’re happy that we don’t encounter many of these at Ember. But we’re not resting on our laurels; we’re constantly reviewing processes, particularly around project delivery, and our business structure – where becoming part of the Davies Group has definitely helped. We also provide ongoing leadership training to all managers; and through team days, regular meetings and emails, we aim to strengthen company communication and make things as transparent as possible. We appreciate the stresses of the consulting world can be challenging at times and that can lead to moments of drama – that pass very quickly. What we do consistently see is overwhelmingly positive client feedback for the hard work of our employees – something which we are extremely grateful for.

Pros

- Senior management are understanding, caring, compassionate and professional. - The whole management team understand the need for a good work life balance. - They encourage socials and always recognise hard work. - If you are looking for progression the routes are very clear and defined but you will in no way be pushed down any one route – it is very much in your hands. - In my personal experience I have never felt like there is anyone in the business that I cannot approach (this ranges from the analysts & junior consultants right to the board of directors

Cons

None - They are doing Great
