Working Hours at Nous Group

You are expected to work 40 hour weeks with an additional few hours per week for self development. Some weeks are longer than others. If you week consistently long hours, you will be given recharge leave.

My company is flexible. Sometimes there are longer days (until 7pm for example) but the self-managed approach means it's up to each employee how they use their work hours (within reason of course).

It is understandable that as a management consultant, you will have to sometimes work more than 8 hours in a day, or more than 40 hours in a week, as it is the nature of project based work. These instances are not necessarily the norm however, and you are able to work from home quite freely, and somewhat choose the hours you work, so you do have some freedom to make a schedule that works for you.

Nous is extremely flexible. They maintain that you should work when you work best. They are accommodating for appointments that you have in the middle of the day and really trust their workers to self-manage their schedule. I usually work 8:00 to 5/5:30pm during an average work period. Sometimes this will fluctuate to meet client and project demands but Nous also offers recharge leave to combat the busyness consultants feel.

The firm is entirely results driven. Management and the company are interested in the work you produce as opposed to the inputs into the work (i.e., what time you leave the office/turn off your laptop). You are allowed to work at times that suit you. If you aren't a morning person, you can make that known and the teams you're in will accommodate. As long as you honor your roles and responsibilities!

Usually I'm in the office till 8:30 - 5. Sometimes i end up working 11 hours but its rare enough and i have mental stimulation to enjoy myself when these happen.

Depends on the demand of your project. Company asks for 8hr of day that's attention to clients. You also get recovery leave if your projects were

Very flexible, WFH options too

The company is very flexible with hours. Self-management is a huge part of the company culture, which means that every day it is entirely up to me what hours I work and where I work from. I am also able to do personal activities during the day, such as dentist appointments, exercise, etc, as long as I meet the required hours expected from me during the week.

You typically spend 8 hrs doing client work and then another 1 or so doing other things. Hours spent depends project to project.

Very flexible. Sometimes I have long days of 12 hours but often it is a very straightforward 9-5.

Nous expects 8 hours of client work, and 0.5-2 hours of self development every day. I'd say the company is very flexible because it's all self-managed, so if you need to fit in a doctors appointment or anything like that, even run an errand or an exercise class, it's up to you to balance your time and meet all of your commitments. I'd say I typically work 7.5-8 hours of client work, with maybe 0.5 for other things (internal company meetings etc) a day.

very flexible

The consulting industry is marked by 200 hour months and our company is no different. We do however have a good working from home option, with tech support to facilitate working remotely.

Very flexible, however work can be intense at times.

Nous is flexible about when you work, but the work has to get done. Typical hours would be 8am-6pm every day.

Long hours but expected in consulting. It's very flexible as you self manage your time and can work from anywhere.

There is an expectation that over the year you will work 200 hour months on average. Beyond this stipulation, there is huge flexibility in when/where you work those hours. It's entirely up to you to manage this which is wonderfully flexible and allows you to fit your life in around work. In saying that, sometimes you will work very long hours.

The contract at Nous is 200 hours a month for all levels of consultants (up to our Principals). This is on average pretty accurate. As with any consulting firm, there are busy weeks and less busy weeks. The organisation allows great levels of flexibility and trust. You are trusted to work wherever and whenever you want, as long as you are doing right by your project teams and the client. We work at high intensity, so you have to be ready to work out. Fortunately, Nous is not like other firms which require 80+hr weeks.

we are expected to do around 50 hours a week. I average around 55. these hours can however be completed in an extremely flexible way
