Pros

Becoming an expert in doublethink at a level that would make Mr. Orwell proud; examples are plenty and below is a selection of the finer ones: - the management cares deeply about the wellbeing of its workforce, except when it comes to paying them competitively, reducing the hours they have to work on understaffed accounts, or creating a safe working environment by encouraging all employees to vaccinate against covid (in line with CDC & WH guidance) - the best way to grow a company is by forcing its workforce - whether the run-of-the-mill middle management types or capable loyalists who in all likelihood would have retired as Proximites - to leave (refer to other reviews for posts that have much more vividly captured the utter disgust people have felt about the furloughs) - the management is allegedly one of the most transparent in consulting, yet there's very little visibility into important topics such as performance evaluations (better work = smaller pay rise), profit share (record profit year didn't result in record bonus year), or sales outlook communications (poor mgmt decisions causing enough employees to leave to the extent you can't even staff projects became "we are sold out")

Cons

mostly see Pros, but also ad hoc and comically wtf moments like WITHDRAWING money from employees' bank accounts on pay days OR suggesting to employees who have just resigned for greener pastures to take a contract position to cover for the gap they just left behind OR openly asking employees during company forums to post "positive" review here in an futile attempt to drown out the factual ones...

When the going gets tough, Proxima gets furloughing

Pros

Very supportive group of people, pretty good culture although seemed forced at times

Cons

Proxima treats its full-time employees like temporary contract workers. When there are bumps in the road or issues with clients, Proxima's first line of defense is getting rid of you no matter how long you have worked there for or how much good work you did for them. It's a great place to work if you like to wake up every morning wondering if you will have a job that day anymore. If you decide to work for Proxima you should probably have a 6-month emergency fund on hand

Pros

Not that many - above average salary, high PTO policy (that you won't get to use due to program leads and unrealistic deadlines or expectations), comradery among your peers that are in the trenches with you -- which is dependent on your program and the politicking that those around you are angling for.

Cons

Proxima has an inherent issue that has yet to be addressed - the selling point and headline is "world leading procurement and supply chain consultancy" yet nothing that is achieved or sold is world class. The supply chain practice is in its infancy and has lost key members over the past six-months, client work is sold as strategic and yet most work actually accomplished is very tactical and transactional, and leadership is not in-tune or connected to the employees and their desire for growth.
