Pros

If you're looking for a contract type of "gig" but with full time employee benefits, this might be a good fit for you (assuming they find you a "role" or you don't get paid till then). Go in with your eyes open.

Cons

They seemed to be struggling to find new business the last I interacted with them. Take their spiel about "company values" with a pinch of salt. Immature leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. It seems you didn’t have a great experience and for that we apologize. We’ve heard from our associates and our clients that our delivery model, coaching/mentoring program and culture set us apart in the competitive market that we operate in every day. We encourage all associates to have direct and open conversations with everyone at the firm, especially leadership. We are glad to hear that the benefits were appreciated. All firms have business cycles, not sure when you were here but we’ve landed 8 new accounts in 2017 alone and our bench is currently extremely low, we can’t hire fast enough to meet client demand. We will always have things that we are working to improve. These elements are discussed regularly in account meetings, practice meetings, 1:1 meetings etc. Beyond that, we have numerous channels for feedback. I’d invite you to reach out to me directly to share your perspective so I can address any concerns and we can all learn from this. Please let me know if you’d like to schedule some time to talk. Thank you – Ed ebeals@loft9consulting.com

Pros

Leadership is strong - the team running the show from a strategic and firm wide level are intelligent, capable and rationale. Great culture for personal and professional development - they pay for my personal and professional development (certifications in PMP, etc) Great firm wide events and support (financially and otherwise) Associate connections on off work hours - they've invested considerable resources in a Health and Effectiveness Lead to preserve the firm culture that has earned them the reputation as one of the best consulting firms in Seattle L9 is growing quickly but not erratically - Leadership is very invested in long term sustainable growth. Associate's EQs are on par with IQs - this company understands the value of relationships and recruits people who can deliver exceptional value and build relationships with clients Opened a Denver office in 2013 - this will attract an even greater talent pool Recruiting process is solid - wonderful office managers, recruiters, and Organizational Leads drive a pleasant experience for candidates

Cons

There can be better transparency of hiring needs between Biz Dev and firm associates - I've invested significant time with people i thought would be excellent fits and they were passed on because they didn't (paraphrasing) "match with staffing needs and anticipated consulting roles" - to better stock the referral applicant pool, associates need more robust feedback on how to more effectively find the right people. Loft has hired a more proactive Recruitment Lead to bridge this gap so I anticipate this "Con" being remedied by end of 2014
