      Pros

      Joining CompassX has been a solely positive move for my career. I wasn't sure what exactly to expect after having spent my entire consulting career thus far at a large firm. However, the career opportunities, pay, and most benefits have significantly exceeded my expectations. Going to CompassX has been an exciting and unique career move. CompassX is currently small, but the consultants here are highly experienced, and very skilled/reputable, giving growing consultants an exciting opportunity to work alongside and learn directly from experts in the field. The firm is seeing unprecedented growth rates due to the positive client reviews we're receiving. Many of our consulting roles are for highly visible projects, and our consultants work directly with C-suite and director level stakeholders. Joining CompassX from a larger consulting firm has given me more opportunities for leadership roles, and has pushed me to my highest potential. The people at the firm are wonderful to work with and really care about making our culture inclusive, fun, and family-oriented. The firm does regular outings, often in more than one location to accommodate employees that live on opposite sides of town. Outings vary from happy hours, to outdoor adventures, to charity events - so there really is something for everyone to get involved with. The community pmo team regularly checks the company's pulse on employee experience, and appears to be actively addressing employee concerns and questions. From a financial perspective, the rates here are extremely competitive and the bonus potential is higher than most (if not all) consulting firms, without sacrificing a low baseline salary. Additionally, consultants are rewarded periodically for their efforts, and consultants that go above and beyond do receive recognition.

      Cons

      CompassX is a growing firm, so some internal processes and procedures are still being refined and developed. However, this doesn't have to be a con if you're someone who enjoys being a part of a growing business. When you join CompassX, you'll have ample opportunities to help out in areas you are interested in (without being required to, if you choose to opt out) spanning all internal processes such as recruiting, account management, solution development, and more. While you will be assigned a CXG leader, account lead, and peer you meet biweekly/monthly with, you may or may not have much additional support on the projects you're assigned to as we are a highly lean/nimble group due to our size. When joining CXG, you should be comfortable with a fairly large amount of autonomy in your client and internal work. Several of the consultants here operate nearly fully autonomously with our clients.

      Thank you for this incredible review, we are beyond honored to have “pushed you to your fullest potential.” Being a part of a growing company is FUN! Most of us have experienced what it feels like to be in the opposite situation. By creating a community focused on growth, it helps ensure a path ‘up and to the right’. Being named “One of the Fastest Private Companies” in 2022 by Inc. 5000 was an incredible accomplishment and award. However it is NOT what makes me jump out of bed each day. For me, finding ways to grow CompassX creates new opportunities for our people. Whether that be starting a new Community of Practice, a Solution, moving into an operations role from a delivery role, promoting our operations support personnel into new roles, providing consultants opportunities to take on expanded roles (leading internal initiatives, account leadership, thought leadership, etc.), The most exciting part of our next 3-5 years of growth at CompassX will be the opportunities afforded to our consultants and internal team to grow in their careers. - Kyle Heppenstall, President and Founder

      Pros

      I joined CompassX from a mid-sized consulting firm and so far it's been a great move. I feel like my perspectives and experience are valued and are seen as a benefit to the company, and the people who I work with really seem to care. The work itself feels meaningful, with interesting projects where each win (big or small) seems to have a big impact and celebrated by everyone. Since joining, the practice areas seem to be evolving and maturing, and I've been able to sharpen my skills by being pushed outside my comfort zone at times. Unlike my last company, there are no mandatory CompassX office days, but I know where the leaders or colleagues are each week if I want to meet in person. I've also enjoyed the in person events and other team meet ups,

      Cons

      As it's a small firm, sometimes there can be missing pieces or gaps e.g. there aren’t always standardized tools, predefined templates or playbooks like at larger consultancies. Sometimes this means more freedom to do things your own way, but can be frustrating if starting from scratch too often. The teams are pretty lean so work can get busy for short bursts of time to meet client expectations. Also need to be willing to wear multiple hats or flex into other areas to keep the show on the road.
