Small Company with Great Opportunities for growth - Director of Operations Invado Solutions Employee Review

First of all, Invado is a smaller company. Those who are used to working at the huge consulting shops might not like the environment and impact you can have at a smaller consultancy. I, for one, love it! I get to work with interesting clients and do very impactful work every day. My surrounding team is technical and some of the best at what they do. Unlike many other shops, the work here isn't simply transactional. It actually feels like I'm building relationships with our clients. Not to mention, the pay is great and I'm not working 60 to 80 hour weeks.

This is a smaller company. That comes with some challenges as far as process, benefits, etc. The trade off is autonomy and getting to be strategic!

Individual benefits were not bad.

Do not work here. The financial success described during the interview was grossly overstated, as evidenced by the numerous layoffs this year. The optimistic financial figures discussed in the interview led me to accept a compensation structure dependent on profits that, regrettably, did not reflect the company’s actual financial situation. Additionally, the frequent promises of extra support, which never materialized due to the company’s contract failures and financial troubles, directly led to a severe lack of resources. This, in turn, resulted in my being severely overworked, as I struggled to compensate for the shortfall in support. That family benefits were so expensive I had to purchase my own at a great expense. I regret taking this job.
