RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Baringa Partners full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
- Supportive people and a flat structure - I've found the projects and roles more interesting than my previous consulting firms - The culture isn't about long hours and face time - Management really try to get it right. Your voice is heard.
Cons
- There is a big focus on knowing people and their family, many people have children and so if you don't you are a bit of an anomaly! - Female representation in Directorship and partnership levels needs to continue to improve, although I do see the progression and a real focus to address this with the various mentoring and leadership development training initiatives. - Although there has been a huge focus on sustainability recently, I think more could be done e.g. talking to clients about remote working instead of business travel

"Nice colleagues but partners have been greedy"

Pros
The people are on the whole very nice to work with. The focus on culture is real and makes for a better environment than many consultancies. In recent years growth has been strong with good promotion opportunities.
Cons
At the first sight of a downturn the Partners have imposed company wide pay cuts and unpaid leave. The partners took out huge profits in the boom years (£5million for highest paid partner in FY19) but are not putting any of it back into the business just 12 months on. This greed is normal at other consultancies - Baringa talks of being different but I don't see it.

"Decent"
StarStarStarStarStarI worked at Baringa Partners full-time for more than a year
Pros
Good culture, people know each other more than in traditional consultancy.
Cons
Still a typical cosultancy and people over worked. Several people in my team were signed off work due to being overworked and their mental health. Also, they need to work on their diversity in a big way.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Baringa Partners full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
- very friendly and invest in social aspects - market leader in utilities consulting - strong repeat business from existing clients
Cons
- beginning to plateau in growth and moving closer to a big 4 feel - limited brand in non-utilities markets - lack of investment in office and technology - employee churn is increasing - international growth has been very slow so really only a UK focused company - diversity is limited and ambition in this area is not the strongest; partners largely grew up together and demonstrate a tendency to hire/promote in their image

Pros
Great perks Good mix of well qualified people Good senior input - they actually deliver on projects Lots of people who genuinely care about client delivery and employees
Cons
Really team dependant - some teams are quite formal and have a bit of a hangover from people being ex accenture Some teams are smaller and have more personality but quality of projects being sold is poorer Not following through on all promises made in recruitment - difficult to hold people to account on this
