Pros
After my previous experiences within consultancy firms i said "no more!". As manager i always had to deal with unhappy consultants and top management wouldn’t give me the tool to change that. When TMC introduced me to their Business model i was skeptical; too good to be true. They showed their tools to me during recruitment process and i decided to give it a try. 4 years later I am still happy to be part of TMC!
The main + points for me:
* Transparency. Finally you can talk about everything with the consultants! We share info about TMC revenues and we also tell them how much we invoice them at the customer, show them the cost price sheet and share benefits with them
* Possibility to financially reward consultants for their work on the long term: profit sharing. We share up to 50% of the margin with them
* Annual training budget: it is YOUR budget, YOU decide which courses do you need and how to spend that money.
* Coaching: all employees have individual coaching sessions 6 to 8 times/year. First time I see it, it is usually only available to top management
Cons
The business cell structure is a + and a -. Sometimes I think it compartiments the company a bit too much.
