Anyone have experience with working at Spencer Stuart or any other exec search firm? I’m coming from big 3 consulting so used to fast paced, heavy load

PROS: generous time off (10 sick, 2 floaters, 10 vacay to start, 10 annual company holidays… plus 12/24-1/2 is off and PAID), annual bonus, hybrid schedule (3 days/week in office typically Tue/Wed/Thu), “Summer Fridays” (we shut down at 3pm local time on Fridays between Memorial Day and Labor Day), I feel that TPTB are quite understanding of work/life balance.

CONS: we have CIGNA for medical/dental insurance (no other choice), workload can be quite heavy at times but also cyclical, I rack up loads of OT (however I don’t mind the extra $).

A lot also depends on the consultant you are partnered with, their personality and your relationship with them is HUGE. EZ also tries to maintain a 1:1 ratio (EA to consultant) wherever possible, I lucked out, mine is FAB. One thing I can say is that I’ve been with EZ over 5 years and they do treat us well. I feel as if my contributions are as important as everyone else’s, and I am a valued member of the team. The EA team in my office is VERY supportive and helpful - and they have been since day 1. I’ve always felt welcome and the atmosphere and culture is energizing.

Hope this helps!
