After all, you spend a third of your day at work; why do it in a place where you do not feel valued, are longing for more responsibility, or feel disconnected from your clients? If you are seeking a position at a legacy consulting firm that is wholly owned by its employees, looking to do impactful work that matters, and find a work culture that supports your family life, bring your skills to Wightman.
