- Strong Team & Culture: We foster a small, collegial organization that takes the best characteristics of consulting to create a supportive culture – we work hard, but we believe in integrating work/life in the way that matters most to our individual employees.

- Growth & Development: We strive to develop our team in ways that are unique to the individual. We recognize that all team members have different strengths, and we tailor paths forward based on your specific needs
- Strong Compensation: We offer competitive salaries and bonus, 401k, healthcare / dental / vision and an open time-off policy
We can offer you the opportunity to work on complex, interesting strategy consulting projects with the environment and culture of a start-up. If we sound like a good fit for you – continue reading!
