Pros

Some great smart people, great place to learn for a couple of years and then leave. Good pay, but not the best

Cons

The current approach of senior management appears disconnected from the scale of Efficio, which now exceeds 1,000 employees. Despite this, management practices more fitting for a small enterprise of 50 continue to prevail. There is a recurring pattern of launching grandiose projects that ultimately fail to deliver tangible results, often due to a lack of inclusive decision-making and openness to diverse opinions. Additionally, there is a significant disparity in the treatment and compensation of business services staff compared to consulting staff, yet the former are often expected to meet the same demands and workloads as the latter. Consultants frequently exert undue influence, often disregarding the expertise and opinions of their colleagues. This has fostered a competitive rather than collaborative environment, which is detrimental to team cohesion and overall morale. Moreover, certain members of management exhibit behaviours that can only be described as rude and pushy, contributing to a workplace atmosphere that has precipitated mental health issues among the staff. This is exacerbated by the presence of senior management figures who are noticeably underutilized, contributing minimally while occupying critical positions. This occurs concurrently with the troubling trend of dismissing highly capable and intelligent staff.

Very boring work

Pros

Become an Excel super user in no time CEO is very approachable Efficient and standardised approach to indirect sourcing

Cons

Work is boring - you can easily end up sourcing paper for a year! Not good at sourcing anything else than indirect materials Extremely arrogant culture and majority of employees are actually not very friendly Not a management consultancy but more of an interim indirect sourcing company Believe that they, in adition to procurement, focus on Supply Chain but that is not the case

Pros

I have been working with Efficio for over a year and I am happy to be part of such a reputable and successful management consulting firm. I have worked in different projects across the globe since joining and always with incredibly smart and talented people. Procurement can at times be a bit "repetitive" so you need to have a genuine interest in the field to appreicate the type of work.

Cons

Work life balance in consulting can often be hard to achieve. Many competitors are doing a lot to help working parents and offering a wide range of flexible working opportunities (ie: work from home when not with clients, flexible working patterns during the day, better maternity/paternity etc etc), Efficio should start changing some of these benefits to retain talent avoid falling behind other firms.
