They are protected and brought into solid projects. Kalypso is a consulting firm that markets itself as innovation, but honestly does little more than PLM implementation - at higher than market rates for a commodity. I viewed it as a pro, as I took advantage of alternate travel opportunities and went to many places I would never have thought to visit otherwise, however I know some of my former co-workers struggled with the heavy travel. Don't waste your 100K at B-School and start at Kalypso as an analyst with 50K salary if you want to do IT work. The people are fun and engaging and I would definitely work with many if them again. The traditionally experienced employees, on the other hand, are often over-utilized. The two founding partners still do 75% of all partner work, with some partners doing next to nothing. Your trust is our top concern, so companies can't alter or remove reviews.I have been working at Kalypso full-time for more than a yearI have been working at Kalypso full-time for more than a yearI have been working at Kalypso full-time for more than a yearI have been working at Kalypso full-time for more than a yearI worked at Kalypso full-time for more than 3 yearsI have been working at Kalypso full-time for more than a yearChoose a different language and keep reading other reviews. But I have found partners to be very willing to help, and you will be placed in lots of situations where you will be stretched and can grow immensely. A few, mostly female employees have found favor with the two founders and are treated in very special ways. They have one employee "managing" this who knows very little about each employee's actual capabilities... only resume experience. It's also true that if you have an idea for improving the firm you will almost always be given the freedom to try it out and bureaucracy & hierarchy are largely non-existent. Rediculous. If you fit in and take some initiative, you will probably thrive. The people definitely live the core values--especially "characters with character"--and foster a work hard, play hard philosophy.
You will be regularly exhausted by the work While great, they aren't onboarded or trained in a way to live the Kalypso values like I was. Make no mistake, I appreciate the entrepreneurial nature of the firm, but I can see how some seeking organization at work would be exhausted. Healthcare benefits are below par - $5000 deductible and the firm pays 20% below what an average consulting firm like Accenture pays. Great client experiences, projects and new knowledge.Consultant lifestyle with continuous travel, being aways from family can be draining.Young and intelligent workforce that is easy to get along with.

There are numerous instances of hiring of family members, favoritism towards Texas based people (including tax evasion for the founders). • Prestigious clients A … I did exactly what they told me to. The work load and work life balance can be dreadful and this is backed by the fact that Kalypso has finished first (!) Similar things can be said about the new COO Emily Adams. Flat organizational structure = more opportunities to be heard and noticed And people are given opportunities to be in stretch roles so they can grow.There are a few bad apples at Kalypso - and the management is actively identifying them and addressing the issues. The expansion into Europe recently has really made us feel like a global firm. This firm is also very supportive of both your professional growth and personal growth, which I feel is a rare thing. Emphasizes growth, in fact, which is a very positive thing. • Diversity of work and business challenges keep things interesting
Also wasn't a fan of having to share hotel rooms during Karma.Virtual company where you can work from wherever you live when you're not on-site at a client. The work is mundane, the leadership is lacking and the opportunities that were promised are non existent.

This can make it feel like sometimes the left hand is a step behind the right. Agile methodology can be painful if it's not well admin.Work is challenging and colleagues are brilliant - Some partners and senior managers are competent, but many do not know how to manage projects and client relationships We heard all about the lovely ladies of Kalypso. Virtual Work Environment - Let's be honest, working from home is awesome. There is a lot of emphasis on camaraderie which is very commendable. One of the partners gets a little "handsy" at certain events. at the top of Consulting Magazine's annual survey in terms of "longest hours worked"....and in the past few years the 2nd place finisher on this broadly recognized industry benchmarking survey has not even been close. Kalypso partners with Siemens PLM Software to provide end-to-end management consulting and implementation services for the Teamcenter portfolio. They have a cool, quirky culture (if they keep it). Specifically I was told the firm followed the 3-4-5 model when it came to traveling for client projects: That means as a client service professionals you would typically spend 3 nights away from home, travel for 4 days and be billable for 5 days out of the week.
