Message: NYC-Native: Others have previously questioned the lack of posts on this board from Campbell consultants. More and more, I find myself agreeing with them that this is a very troubling sign. In the recent Campbell Alliance thread on the main consulting board, the majority of the posts (other than yours) were negative. Here in this forum you have a chance to address applicant concerns and let us know why Campbell is a great place to work. But instead of hearing from people working in the same role that we would be in, we hear from a PR person. And not even useful information. You have given no specifics about working environment, hours, or salary ranges. Despite saying that you would answer questions about Campbell Alliance, you have been dodging all the meaningful questions that this board is meant to answer. I find it troubling that no consultants have posted any messages or filled out any surveys. Is this because they are all so apathetic about Campbell Alliance that they don't care? Or is it because the company won't allow them to post here for fear that they will say something negative? And since these postings and surveys are anonymous, there is very little chance that they would be discovered. Are they so scared (for their jobs?) that they refuse to take even the tiny risk that they might be discovered? Whatever the reason, I find it troubling. I am also very turned off by your portrayal of the firm. Every company has positives and negatives. However you are presenting a rosy view, of the company and expect us to believe it. Why would we? We are smart enough to be consultants, certainly we are smart enough to know that the view that you put forth is not an accurate one. Wouldn't you rather that we have all the information about the company to help us determine if we want to work there? Won't that work out better for all of us in the long run? I was preparing to apply to Campbell Alliance, and would have been a good candidate. However, the company's handling of the Vault message board and surveys has been a real turnoff. I now have doubts that I would ever want to work for your company.
