Because ECG is a privately held partnership, our decisions are based on what is best for the long-term success of our firm and its professionals and not on the short-term interest of uninvolved shareholders.

• Small Project Teams. As a specialized firm, ECG's project teams are relatively small, giving you substantial contact with senior clients and involvement in key client meetings.

• Mentoring. Our smaller project teams mean you have better access to our principals and senior consultants, allowing you the opportunity to learn more and form vital mentoring relationships.

• Supportive Environment. Our work environment is intense but supportive; people are busy but always willing to share their experience or point you in the right direction.

• Variety. Our consultants typically work on two or three projects at a time, and our projects typically last 4 to 6 months. This structure means you will see a larger variety of clients and projects than at most other firms.

• Just the Right Size. With about 80 consultants, ECG provides the personalized experience of smaller firms with the resources of larger firms. Many of our consultants started with larger firms.

• Growth with Stability. ECG is committed to growing the firm no faster than 10 to 15 percent per year. This enables us to create great career opportunities while maintaining a consistent culture that values both teamwork and an entrepreneurial spirit.

• Philosophy on Travel. We realize that travel is difficult for the client and for our consultants. Our consultants are on site only when needed, and we encourage all consultants to be in the office each Friday for professional development and interaction with colleagues.

• Commitment to Healthcare. ECG is committed to providing specialized expertise to healthcare providers. Our professionals “live and breathe” our clients' issues and have the experience to provide the leadership that is needed in todays complex healthcare marketplace.

• Administrative Support Structure. ECG has many administrative resources typically only found at larger consulting firms, including on-site technology professionals, document editing and production services, marketing, and knowledge and information management resources.

Employees who are dedicated to their professional and career development can look forward to long-term growth and rewards.
