Culture
No two days are the same at Kaiser. A growing strategy consulting firm, Kaiser Associates is a very demanding and dynamic place to work. Our office culture can best be described as collegial, supportive, and fast-paced. People are genuinely nice, down to earth, and care about your development. Kaiser operates a true meritocracy where strong performers are challenged and rewarded. Individuals are encouraged to have fun and challenge themselves intellectually, which means that consultants are offered significant opportunities, such as client presentation, early on in their careers. The firm has a non-hierarchical structure, which encourages consultants to participate actively in all areas of the firm. Kaiser places a premium on the ability to achieve positive results for our clients, through a focus on delivering the highest quality actionable recommendations and solutions. We use a team-based approach to problem solving that encourages individual leadership and initiative and allows consultants to learn from one another.
Lifestyle
In addition to the professional experience, consultants at Kaiser can also participate in a number of firm-wide social activities. These provide opportunities for people to get together outside of work and to interact with employees other than those on their immediate project teams.
Almost once a month, Kaiser offers events such as trips to sports games and art galleries, happy hours, bowling expeditions, dinners, and so on. Events are organized and run by consultants themselves, ensuring that activities are enjoyable for everyone. Kaiser's emphasis on building social bonds not only encourages a strong sense of camaraderie in the office, but also provides a solid network of friendships that extend far beyond the office environment.
Kaiser consultants are also concerned with giving back to and helping the community at large. In the past, the firm has sponsored a number of volunteer events that aid those in the DC metro area, from holiday gift drives to afternoons spent with low-income students. These events bring individuals closer together while contributing to the greater good.
