Pluspunten

- Small size means outsized opportunities on projects for growth and resume padding - Some really great middle management, many of whom are unfortunately gone - Quick promotions if one is a cultural fit - Good employee events for a typical boutique firm - Some in senior management still hold some very pure core values and work hard to sustain a positive work environment

Minpunten

- Very tribalistic culture. Good for some, uncomfortable for many. - Literally heard "fake it till you make it" from multiple leaders. Everything one reads online is carefully curated to give the right aura of a great boutique firm. After all, it's a very traditional marketing firm. - Turnover is so high, the org has been stuck for over a decade in the same tiny office. Could be as high as 50% over a few years. - High degree of tokenism - Employees often 'disappear' and become not employed (analyst - principle). The best way to better understand the firm and whether you might be a good fit is to ask FORMER employees.

Pluspunten

- After working with a few different professional services firms it's hard to find one with such a well rounded culture - Super smart people who are engaged in your development - Interesting projects that are cross-industry which gives great exposure - Clients are typically executives which gives exposure to building a very experienced network

Minpunten

- Pace of work is fast and you have to juggle a lot of priorities, this is more a reflection on the consulting industry than it is for Level5 specifically

Pluspunten

The ability to wear so many different hats and learn so many parts of the business has been an incredible experience from both a personal and professional level. Being able to support the managing partners and consultants is a tough but very rewarding "job". The people and culture are simply amazing. Everyone including managing partners are approachable and friendly. I consider these people friends as not just colleagues. There's a lot of opportunity for growth and a career path set for consultants which was introduced about a year before I left. I truly value everything I've learned in what I consider a short time/number of years. I'm very thankful for all the opportunities and potential that I didn't see in myself. I take great pride to have worked with such an amazing company and group of people and will continue to speak highly of my time here.

Minpunten

Not necessarily a con but the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one" is what I relate to and I think many others would experience. Some may see it as a negative aspect if broader knowledge is not the work experience they're looking for.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We appreciate your positive words about the people and culture of our firm; it’s something we are proud to uphold and maintain after 14+ years! We believe it’s important for us to provide opportunities that allow our employees to grow professionally, which can come from the diversity and range of tasks/assignments, and from whom you are learning, whether it be directly with a peer or a Managing Partner. We do make an effort to those that want to specialize in a particular industry by staffing them on clients that fit their interests – provided it doesn’t disrupt current client relationships.
