At a Glance
“People, work-life balance, and an emphasis on professional development.”
“Early responsibility, flexible remote work, and not too many hours.”
“We have both remote and hybrid options. If you are hybrid, that means you're in the office five times a month, which is very workable. Leadership cares about the people and about our clients. Our work is impactful and interesting, and we're able to make our lives work alongside our work.”
“Challenging and well-compensated work, really smart people with a collegial culture, and an entrepreneurial spirit”.
“Federal bureaucracy.”
“We are growing, and we are putting lots of new processes and templates into place. It's a difficult place to be if you want to be told what to do and how to do it. It's a great place to be if you want to think and grow every day.”
“Compensation could be slightly better to match larger firms, but I'm content nonetheless.”
“As a small firm, we lack some of the resources of our bigger competitors. As a growing firm, we sometimes encounter growing pains when internal processes and infrastructure lags behind our growth.”
About Censeo Consulting Group
Censeo Consulting Group specializes in strategy and operations, with a specific focus on mission-driven organizations. The firm tries to break away from the traditional consulting model by using its own business model, one that is based on three main principles: expertise and thought leadership, people and values-driven culture, and tangible impact for clients. Censeo primarily works with clients in the public sector to dramatically improve organizational and operational performance, thereby strengthening their capacity to deliver more for every invested dollar. Depending on the client, this could translate to results from more effective and efficient operations, cost savings for major acquisitions, or a data and analytics infrastructure that allows for improved decision-making
Censeo Consulting Group has been recognized as one of the top small consulting firms to work for. Despite competing with 70-hour-week Fortune 500 companies, Censeo marches to the beat of its own drum with office culture, limiting working hours to prevent employee burnout. The consulting world has taken notice, with accolades from The Wall Street Journal and Consulting magazine for being a great "small firm" to work for. But the real proof is in the pudding: many of its leaders come from the giants of the consulting field: companies like Bain, McKinsey, A.T. Kearney, Boston Consulting Group, and more.
It is no accident that Censeo has been honored as a great place to work. These distinctions are proof that the firm is following its people-focused consulting model, with "people" referring both to its clients and employees. The firm shifts attention to employees by taking on exciting, intellectually challenging projects, encouraging creativity and initiative, offering flexible career paths, limiting travel, keeping reasonable hours, allowing consultants to work where they choose, and, of course, by offering competitive salaries and benefits. The firm is convinced that this approach will lead to both happier and more productive employees.
One key to the firm's happy and healthy employees is its willingness not only to limit travel but also to allow employees to work from home. Censeo's hybrid work policy for consultants requires only five days/month in the office, some employees have the option to work remotely full-time, and flexible schedules are an option for all staff members.
