Watch out for the sinking ship - Consulting Associate Fairwinds Partners Employee Review

The owner is great and truly cares about his people, he’s genuinely a nice person.. The pay and benefits are amazing. Really generous company. CEO will listen to new ideas/allow you to lead new projects of interest. Great for a self starter and those who work well independently and do not require a lot of guidance. Ideas welcomed.

Small company means many hats for few individuals and sometimes a lack of professionalism from management. If you have little outside work experience you might feel bullied or abandoned with the lack of guidance and clear leadership but if you have worked other corporate jobs you will appreciate the flexibility afforded to you. It is a low stress environment but requires a lot of self discipline and independent learning.

Working as an intern over the summer was a great experience. I learned a lot about the industry and loved working for a small innovative company. I felt like I could contribute ideas and meaningful work even though I was just a summer intern. All of the employees were great and the office was a very good and open environment.

Some of the projects were very monotonous and dull. The training was pretty minimal and more would have been helpful. Because of this some of the tasks took a lot of background work.
