Avantages
Was at Point B for over 10 years and Point B was one of the early leaders in the local client/local delivery model. They were focused on delivering value to their clients - as measured by their clients.
Inconvénients
Fear of outside leadership (they just won't get us) has caused clique-ish promotion from within. Leaders that are insane (continuing to do the same thing year after year but expecting different results the next time). Has lost the soul of the firm through heavy attrition of long-time associates and leaders. No longer focused on the client - but instead on growth/revenue/sales that drive ESOP share price. Current model is to hire BA's, Sr. BA's, and Associates - promote them quickly and then bill them at their Sr. Associate rates to drive margin. The ownership mentality that has been created is based on share price and wealth and not passion about a once great firm. The current leaders are motivated by their Long-Term Compensation Plans, not by the passion to lead a firm that was once considered a market leader.
