InterWorks reviews about "benefit"

As with any other consulting firm, pay can always be more, but the annual benefits that come with the package are pretty good

We've gone a year and a half without anyone functioning in an HR role, which has seriously impacted the culture and made people too comfortable with not having any consequences. As many other reviewers have said, especially of the top levels of the org chart, some people behave in completely inappropriate ways but are untouchable if they're in the "in crowd" with the CEO. He answers to no one (no board, no shareholders) and uses his dictatorship to willingly ignore employee feedback. His unilateral decisions, which he continues to share in secretive side meetings instead of communicating with us directly, are affecting the company in extreme ways post-COVID. But if the dictator likes you, life is good. You can sexually harass anyone you want, completely neglect to do your job, or work from home while entire teams are forced back into the office 5 days a week. Another telling illustration of the boys' club: go to interworks.com/team/ and search "Director" titles. 4/23 are women, and certainly not because the men who have been promoted to those positions deserved them. They tout a "work hard, play harder" work culture, which can absolutely be fun, but no workplace boundaries exist. Combine that with unlimited alcohol at nearly every function (or simply on a Tuesday in the office), and you have a very bad mixture with rampant illegal and inappropriate misconduct. TLDR: There are no policies, which could be your thing, but you'll learn there are unspoken rules that only apply to some people.

The benefits have room for improvement. You start off with 0 PTO and pick up one day a month through your first year. You get more days in PTO on your work anniversary, but the amount is far behind large consulting firms like Deloitte where you are given between 20-30 days of PTO on your first day. Like many tech related firms, diversity is lacking from both an ethnic and gender standpoint, though there isn't much of a boys club mentality. Pay is good, but at least in the Bay Area, it is not hard to find opportunities with higher compensation. Unless you're in NY, SF or Portland (3 locations with lots of clients), expect to travel quite a bit.

- not a great support system for remote employees - client gigs are typically just one consultant, and can be lonely - flat structure can conflict with the ambitious and driven people that are hired - salary doesnt compete as well when outside of Oklahoma - will likely require travel - likely will never grow into a large (1k or 2k employee) co resulting firm
