Pros

Most 5* reviews on here are either fake or written by juniors with zero experience working anywhere else. If you want to get into tech consulting and a growing marketing but have zero understanding or skills in technology then practice your best winning smile and apply. Bluewolf will throw you in the deep end and put you in positions no other company would consider.

Cons

If you are an experienced consultant run. Your team will be made up of young inexperienced technically illiterate juniors that while keen, hard working and eager will be useless to you in anything more than a basic salesforce project. Management is made up of those former juniors who stuck it out the longest and got there position through better people leaving. They all firmly believe in the Bluewolf staffing process and won't tolerate criticism as they take is personally. A core group of in crowd managers are forcing out better people who just give up and go somewhere better. This is killing the company.

Pros

I worked with some really smart and pleasant colleagues, most of whom were sadly in the process of leaving, or were actively on the lookout for new opportunities towards the end of my tenure at Bluewolf. The culture was a big plus for me, but this slowly faded into oblivion with the IBM integration.

Cons

- Inability to deliver on large projects, due to a severe lack of experience in the enterprise scale - I felt the company was trying to bite off more than it could possibly chew, on multiple engagements it has no business delivering. - Delivery approach was all over the place. - No documentation on delivery best practices available. - Some individuals placed on the projects I worked on, added another layer of politics on top of what were already difficult engagements - micromanagement never works. - Lots of finger pointing when things went south - from project management, all the way down to resources on the delivery front, with no ownership nor accountability. - Throwing more resources on difficult projects does not address underlying solution gaps. - Have to use antiquated IBM tools and processes for pretty much everything - not very agile... - The culture was effectively killed once the IBM integration came to effect. - Lack of direction. - Office politics / bureaucracy. - Inability to retain talent due to lack of incentives (whether in terms of salary, benefits, training opportunities, or career plans). - No licenses to use proper tools to facilitate delivery (LucidChart, Jira, etc.) - Sightline just doesn't cut it. - Unclear and confusing comms from IBM when it came to bonuses for billable resources

Pros

It has a nice vision of where the company wishes to be within the UK, however, very American centric and the UK-EMEA is struggling to keep the culture and momentum.

Cons

Very American centric, often felt that as I am not American, that I was not 'a part of the high school cool kids' that went through Uni together. As a result, it was often within the UK office 'us' versus 'them'. Within the office, there were cliques and groups of people-the working/personal relationships were clear and intimate (relationships) within the working place. Very odd and awkward.
