Being recognized as one of the Top Workplaces is an indication that we are doing the right things to attract and retain top talent.”
Headquartered in Chicago, Huron’s people come from industry, academia, healthcare, and other consulting firms. The Company was founded in 2002 with approximately 200 people and has grown to more than 2,500 today. Since inception, the Company’s revenues have grown from $35.1 million in 2002 to $626.0 million in 2012. With more than 750 people in the Chicago office, Huron continues to actively hire across all levels with a focus on healthcare, education, life sciences, legal and financial consulting.
Huron’s unique vision, mission and values capture the essence of the Company and how employees interact with one another, their communities and the many clients that Huron serves. The Company provides employees with many benefits, including flexible Paid Time Off (PTO), a wellness reimbursement account, travel benefits, pet insurance and an adoption assistance program, as well as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). In addition to its competitive and transparent compensation plans, Huron offers its employees income opportunities that include cash incentives for meeting performance goals, a dollar-for-dollar 401(k) Company matching contribution up to 6% of their earnings, and a stock ownership participation program that allows them to purchase Huron stock with a 25% Company match.
The Company’s ongoing commitment to the community brings employees together by helping others through its Huron Helping Hands initiatives, which provide support through civic sponsorship, community service projects, pro bono activities, and an employee matching gifts program. In addition, Chicago area employees support several local community service organizations including the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, Chicago Public Schools, Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
Huron strives to foster an environment that capitalizes on the ideas, experiences and perspectives of its diverse community of professionals.
