Revel Consulting Named One of Washington’s Best Companies to Work For

June 26, 2009

Commitment to “Pure Consulting” and Community-Building Increases Employee Satisfaction and Adds New Business

Seattle Business

KIRKLAND, WA – Revel Consulting, a Kirkland, Washington based business and business management consulting firm, announced it was named to the list of Washington state’s 100 Best Companies to Work For by Seattle Business Monthly Magazine at an event last night. Award winners were chosen based on an independent survey completed by company employees who were asked to rate job satisfaction, work environment, and professional growth opportunities. Survey results show that Revel’s consultants value the firm’s focus on project variety, work-life balance, building of an internal community and its ongoing mentorship program.

“This award shows that our Pure Consulting model is working while the traditional industry model is broken,” said Brett Alston, Revel Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “Our approach offers our consultants something truly unique in today’s marketplace – project freedom and responsibility coupled with the mentorship and camaraderie of our Revel community. This allows them to implement changes they’ve dreamed out for years while with the Big 4 – while bouncing ideas off of their peers and the firm’s leadership.”

In an economic environment when many firms are implementing hiring freezes, or even laying-off personnel, Revel is bucking this trend by growing its team. Currently the firm has more than 90 consultants and expects that number to continue to grow in the second half of 2009. Key to this continued growth has been Revel’s two new practices in 2008-2009 - Business Process Management (BPM) and Management Consulting, as well as the a continued focus on connecting consultants with each other through peer-to-peer community activities such as quarterly social events (i.e. bowling, happy hours) and “coffee and donuts” brainstorm sessions with the firm’s leadership.

“Our approach has always been to build a true community here at Revel,” said Joseph Sedmak, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Revel. “We provide our consultants with not only the tools, authority and ownership to solve complex challenges, but also with opportunities to connect with their fellow consultants to share best practices and continue their growth as professionals.”

Revel has worked with Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft and Starbucks, as well as smaller companies such as Innovative Pipeline Services, all of whom are in need of experts who bring new ideas and make changes that help them reach (or exceed) their business goals.
