What would you tell prospective candidates about why they should consider joining Stax?

"One of my favorite aspects about working at Stax is the culture and supportive team/atmosphere cultivated at the firm. Personal development is very important to me, and I am very appreciative of the strong mentorship and team of co-workers (from juniors to seniors) who are willing to share ideas and help when learning new workstreams and challenges. Further, Stax is a great place to learn about new industries and topics through a variety of different engagements (healthcare, tech, and consumer verticals), which has made me very adaptive and knowledgeable across different markets."

How has Stax's culture supported your professional growth?

"The mentorship model at Stax—through both mentors and project leads—really helps focus development within the context of the case. The model makes it easier to align your personal goals with the work you're doing, which leads to a better product for the client—plus, it makes the day-to-day more enjoyable because the case feels more collaborative/team oriented."

Samuel Kirby

How has working at a boutique firm like Stax provided you with increased opportunities and access to the senior team? 

"Stax's teams are structured to allow new members of the team to make an immediate impact and contribute meaningfully to each project, giving opportunities for more ownership on projects than may be granted elsewhere. The team structures also often lead to direct exposure to directors, who are keen to hear input and perspective from everyone on the team regardless of level. Additionally, the relatively smaller offices compared to some other firms leads to frequent opportunities to meet senior members of the team both socially and professionally."

Jaime Lain Tomas

How has Stax's culture supported your professional growth?

"Stax is the ideal place to learn, where no question is too small and no mistake is final. From day one, I’ve been encouraged to step outside my comfort zone and take on meaningful responsibility, accelerating my learning and supporting my career growth."

Jessica Livney

How has working at a boutique firm like Stax provided you with increased opportunities and access to the senior team? 

"Being at a boutique firm like Stax has meant being able to work directly with senior team members from day one. I have learned a lot by watching how they approach project work and lead client discussions, while also having the opportunity to ask questions and receive thoughtful feedback. That level of exposure and support has really accelerated my development and has helped me take on greater ownership early on in my career at Stax."

Nick Farrar

How does Stax’s approach to internal organization contribute to the company culture?

Marissa Licursi

What specific ways has Stax supported your career development and opened opportunities that helped you achieve your current role?

"I’ve been lucky to be surrounded by leaders and mentors—formal and informal—at Stax who genuinely invest in their people. I’ve received feedback that’s been direct, actionable, and timely, which I value immensely. But beyond that, Stax has opened doors giving me stretch opportunities early on in my tenure and trusting me to lead. We have a culture here that encourages people to just raise their hand—and some of my most formative experiences have come from me asking to take on certain things (rather than them being assigned to me). That has been instrumental in helping me get to where I am today."

From day one, Stax empowers senior leaders to grow, lead our clients and our people with purpose, and shape the firm’s strategic direction."

Describe the aspects of your role that you find the most rewarding.

"Given how Stax has experience across multiple verticals and sub-verticals, there is no shortage of new topics to explore. I find that I rarely write about the same subject twice and it keeps me on my toes as a writer. I also get to work directly with numerous stakeholders across the firm's hierarchy, and it's fun to pick their brains and leverage their knowledge and experience to create quality content that directly impacts the firm."
