Ventajas
1) People in the junior levels are smart, caring, and fun (but unfortunately don't stick around for long) 2) Problems you solve with the client are the interesting ones (innovation, growth strategy), and you don't have to do the "boring" part of consulting (e.g., due diligences) here 3) Pay is high (but not relative to consulting), perks used to be good pre-COVID
Desventajas
1) Despite being extremely top-heavy (with way too many partners and not enough consultants and managers), Innosight is extremely small from a revenue perspective so work is volatile. This leads to an inconsistent experience for consultants wanting to learn and develop. Someone could be out of work for 6 months+, therefore learning nothing and being overpaid by the company 2) People management is not a priority. Lack of training for people transitioning to manager level leading to incredibly inappropriate mid-year reviews that are inconsistent and not calibrated properly. Lack of accountability in the senior leadership level - i.e., partners can be complete d**ks and get away with it, while a small handful of partners that care bear the brunt of actually caring for junior consultants. 3) Completely devoid of resources to support people and culture. COVID has exposed the utter lack of support mechanisms at Innosight. Because there is a minimal HR team, they rely on the parent company (Huron) for things like affinity groups or mentorship programs, but it isn't enough. Innosight employees work far longer hours and much harder and need mental health support, but they are not getting it at Innosight. 4) Homogeneous and not changing anytime soon. Just take a look at the website and you will see a sea of white males in the partnership. It has been the case for the 20 years the company has existed despite the company signalling its desire to promote DEI. This has not happened because all resources are being thrown towards selling more work and not towards retaining women, POC, or appropriately handling and training staff to properly respond to acts of discrimination and unconscious biases. The company recently hired two new partners and they were white and male. They are not changing any time soon. 5) Absolutely not pay-competitive when you consider the hours that you work, especially for analysts.. Innosight does not promote people easily and actively encourages junior people to take on more senior roles so they can underpay them to do a crazy amount of work. The discrepancy between analyst and partner pay is ridiculous, especially when you consider who does the actual work.
