While I do not know what the rest of Navigant is like, my year-long experience on the largest managed services project has led me to believe that this workplace is incredibly racist. For starters, the project is overwhelmingly white yet employees of color/employees of ethnic minorities are fired and quit at a disproportionate rate. To date, 5 out of the 5 employees fired are persons of color or from minority origins. Of the 16 employees that has left the firm, 9 come from minority ethnic origins. Moreover, project management created a "low-performance team." With the except of two individuals, everyone that has been on the team in the past or is current on the team is an employee of color/ethnic minority. Overshadowing the above statistic is the fact that when employees of color leave, they often enter more prestigious companies or more advanced roles. Meanwhile, white employees on the project with worse performance are given endless opportunities and positive attention from management to motivate growth and remediation. Egregious instances of racism occur on a frequent basis. Certain project managers constantly mix up employees of similar ethnic origins/language capabilities with each other. It is absolutely useless to escalate to senior managers because they are extremely close to the offenders and any reasonable person would see that their integrity is compromised. The only instance of HR report, that I know of, ended with the HR rep patronizing the reporter and laughing at her in her face. If you are not a white man from Long Island, avoid this place!

We appreciate and welcome feedback from current and former employees. Navigant has a longstanding commitment to a culture that values and promotes diversity and inclusion, and does not tolerate any form of discrimination or inappropriate conduct. Navigant takes all accusations of discrimination or racism seriously and offers a variety of options for reporting, should someone have a concern, including an anonymous phone hotline as well as a website. Employee questions or concerns are routed to an independent Legal and Compliance team, and we encourage conversations with these resources to appropriately address and resolve issues related to the workplace environment. In the specific case of this posting, we have reviewed data on the racial makeup of the team and of those who have chosen to depart, and the data are not aligned with the author’s claims.

Pluspunten

Good pay if you negotiate well. There are plenty of opportunities to work on new things so in that regard it can be challenging. There is also a steep learning curve and a general lack of empathy if you don't meet that curve. There are plenty of co-workers to commiserate with about how agonizing it is to work here. So comradere is not hard to find once that common denominator is established. Navigant also throws some pretty lavish events a couple times a year.. Which are usually followed by lay offs..

Minpunten

Depending on the practice group, like financial services, it is expected that you work, eat, work, sleep and repeat. People work remotely on vacation.. Not because they want to but because there is pressure to. It is the company culture and it starts from the top. There are people in the company who have not seen their kids for weeks.. Literally. I saw the post about a great work/life balance and had to reply. That post is disingenuous and probably written by management. There are "fire drills" every day and most of them are false alarms. You cannot use the bathroom in peace because someone will come looking for you with a "fire drill". Don't even think about eating lunch out of the office... If you are a recent grad they will hire you and work the marrow out of your bones.. If you are a seasoned worker you will leave within a year..
