JoJo - I think you're being a bit unreasonable. The Vault only granted us this message board about a month ago. Let it catch on a bit here at Campbell. Honestly, our consultants are busy and posting on message boards is certainly not top of mind for them. Most of the posts I've seen on other company boards are either by people looking for work or by people complaining about past employers. Everyone else seems to be... hard at work :)
Regarding my posts, I think I've been very forthcoming. I'm not posting just random information about how "great" it is here at Campbell. I think I've been generally helpful to those people with genuine questions. Someone asked about our new Boston office, question answered. Another asked about our benefits for working mothers, again question answered (although for some reason she didn't like the answer). I don't think I've presented a rosy view of the firm, I've just answered people's questions. There's no propaganda on this website. Again, I'm just answering people's questions.
As I've said in past postings on the ZS board before we received our own board... it's really challenging to work at Campbell. We work long hours. There's a lot of travel involved as client work demands it, but most of our practice areas set up teams that divide the country into East and West, so they try to limit travel to a consultant's locale as much as possible. We??re getting more and more capable of doing that with two new offices established last year (NYC & SF) and two more being established this year (Boston & Chicago). I can't comment on salary because I'm not a consultant (although I used to be one in a prior life), but we have great benefits and we (I think all of us) have bonus and raise potential twice per year. While we all work hard, everyone I??ve spoke to on the practice teams is having fun. They??re working on challenging projects with top companies and genuinely moving the needle for everyone we work with.
JoJo - I apologize if you??ve been turned off, but I think you??re making a mistake to judge a company based on a message board. There??s nothing more I can say. For people who post questions here, I??m happy to answer them. If you??re looking for consultants they??ll come around on their own.
JoJo - so, where do you work? Or are you a recent graduate? |

NYC-native,
Well put. I am a first year MBA student and I have been researching your company along with a few others. I appreciate you providing company feedback and I look forward to additional internal posts from your consultants. I was concerned after reading several posts from the ZS message board which did not present a positive company culture (i.e., travel M-F, email monitoring, low morale, low industry pay). I understand that there would be some negativity, however, I am finding it difficult to find any information which is positive. Could you please comment on this?
