The company is very young (most of the consultants are in their early to mid 20's) which leads to a fun environment. However, this means that you don't get that much exposure to high level management that you can learn from. You really have to be self motivated and take it upon yourself to create opportunities.

Navigant does not have a case interview. All of it is fit. Because of this, it is not hard to get into the company. Although you do need a 3.5 gpa and great leadership experiences, they don't really test your limits during the interview. Thus, the team that I came into the company with were not exactly the most stellar people. The managers were also not people that I really look up to. Great people, but not great role models

Pretty basic growth model at Navigant Consulting. After about 2 years, you can be promoted to the Senior Consultant level. After that, it takes about another three years. You really do need to wait for your window of opportunity, even if you stand out by working hard.

As a Summer Associate at Navigant Consulting, I was paid $20 per hour and received time and a half for overtime.

As a Managing Consultant, I receive $90,000 and an annual bonus of $12,000.

The company outlook is good. At times it feels like Navigant focuses more on outings and company events, rather than promotions and monetary compensation. Employees don't enjoy the work, but we don't hate it either. Overall, the best thing about the company are the people that I work with.

I got $55,000 as a first year consultant with a signing bonus of $3,000. The average salary increase at the end of the year is 10%. We get three weeks of paid time off and two floating holidays.

Promotion in the company, especially from the Consultant to Senior Consultant level, is a standard set time rather than merit. Navigant will promote you when it's your time to get promoted. If you've been working hard and standing out, you will not get promoted early. If you've been lagging and just doing the bare minimum, you will most likely get promoted just like everyone else.

I am a Managing Consultant and receive a salary of $160,000 . When I signed with the company in 2007, I received a signing bonus of $10,000.
