      Much room for improvement; ok for short periods of time

      Management consulting senior analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working for a global recognizable company with a true feeling of what consulting is like; Ability to get vast experience in a short amount of time (depends on project and group);

      Cons

      Company Stability; Depends on the location of the group that you're in, you can get a lot of work or nothing at all; Highly political and hierarchical; Communications/Training and what really happens are two different things; Not consistent throughout the company with performance reviews and promotions/compensation; Not enough information sharing and very siloed organization; Senior Leadership (C-level) direction and objectives, more tactical than strategic; only for the short term.

      There is more to managing than giving a great power point presentation

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you can land the right assignment, it is a good place to start. Make sure that you work closely with your resource manager to get great assignments that will advance your career.

      Cons

      Poor senior leadership. Most know the consulting business, but have no clue as to how to manage an organization. For a company that its major asset is human capital, they have no understanding of basic human resource management. Make sure that you work closely with your resource manager to get the right assignments to advance your career. You will really have to apply yourself to make this happen. Leadership is not likely to move you to an assignment that will advance your career if you are working at another client. Try to avoid being bounced around from PM's or MD's as much as possible. You can very easily fall through the cracks and not get noticed for salary reviews and promotions.

      Good option to start a career but don't stay there too long

      Business consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. There are great opportunities to have responsibilities early in the career. From day 1, you can have exposition to the client, which is very important in a consulting job. Teams are usually small and not very structured. Therefore responsibilities on a given project are not based only on the job title or the experience, but mainly on the actual performance in the project 2. The new management tea is dedicated to turn the company around and they launch many initiatives to empowers the employees such as a training program at the Yale School of Business 3. There is an important knowledge base within the company which helps develop deep knowledge in the practice areas of expertise.

      Cons

      1. The company is not doing well overall - therefore, there have been many layoffs and there is only a little opportunity to get a raise or a promotion. This year the CEO is saying that the bonus pool is bigger than ever, so we will see how it end up working... 2. Mentoring is not working well, it is not part of the culture of the company. There are great mentors but you need to be lucky to work with them... 3. Compensation is below average for similar job experience. At the same time, hours can add up easily and you may end up working over 70 hours a week in the worst case project
