Employee - Manager
Not well known or liked.
Employee - Manager
Very secretive culture
Employee - Manager
North Highland has hugever markups on their contractors.
Employee - Manager
Extremely poor communicators. Lack of integrity.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
What stands out to me is that by the time I left the company three years ago (ish) there was no sense of culture. Dead end, demanding, and judgmental.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Hiring at the low end with low salaries. For director-level hires, there is a cap on how much you can make which works to minimize the incentive to dig deep and contribute.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
The key executive has a reputation for not listening to his team, driving forward as if his opinion is the only one that matters. All the best leaders have either left the firm or retired. Employees don't know whether leaders are "not listening" or simply "don't care."
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
North Highland has lost its focus on deep, client relationships and quality of delivery. Hiring too many junior people with inadequate knowledge of their clients and service delivery has impacted their reputation for great consulting.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
It has a mediocre reputation. Delivery quality has slipped. Operational, but trying to claim to be strategic. Can't deliver at that level.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
They talk a good talk, but it is not backed up. Claim collaborative and high caliber - I would say mediocre at best on both of these claims. Calling itself a "best place to work" is only because they urge employees to vote that way saying it will hurt all employees if they lose that standing.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Historically a low base, which a large variable component tied to utilization. No reward for thought leadership or practice development.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Lacking direction, often misleading, and little integrity. Promises are not kept and follow through is weak at best.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
The company has no clear strategy as to where it wants to go. If you like doing project and program management at mid levels with clients then it is a good fit. If you are looking for exposure to executives and strategic issues, this is not the place.
Employee
Depending on city, people are still learning about them.
Employee
Each local branch runs as it's own company. Giving back to community
Employee
Comp structure was in process of changing when I left as well as career tracks.
Employee
Integrity--due the right thing by client. Entrepreneurial--willing to try new things, go after new lines of business Open--accessible for help/share ideas for clients and/or N. Highland
Employee
Great people, challenging work
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Culture is standoffish to associates of the staffing arm. Never hear from anyone once fully engaged, except to turn in time sheets.
Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant
Benefits for the staffing agency are limited to low end group healthcare, two weeks paid vacation only to be taken while on an engagement, and some training money. Holidays are not paid.
