Approves of CEO

Pros

- Everyone cares. Its clear that leaders want what's best for Excellians. If I remember correctly, we refused to lay off employees during the pandemic, which I think is unheard of for any consulting firm that had consultants on the bench. - There's a lot to learn and Excellians to learn from. - I have what I need to work remotely and everyone I work with understands how to effectively do so. - Focus on diversity and inclusion. - We're growing, which is always a great sign.

Cons

Overall, I don't have many cons other than I would like to see more clients in the private sector.

At Excella we believe in inclusion, diversity and equality.  We are passionate about giving our employees the support they need, cultivating allies among our ranks and investing in our community to make positive changes.

We are focused on enhancing our Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID&E) vision, strategy, actions and setting quantifiable goals to establish Excella as the industry leader for hiring underrepresented professionals.  It is our vision to create a culture in which everyone who encounters Excella feels welcomed, respected, and a sense of mutual benefit.  

We invite you to learn more about our efforts to cultivate rich diversity in all aspects of our culture and business via our CEO, Burton White, here and here.
