Incredible opportunity

Consultant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- High impact projects: in some cases, truly world-altering topics (more for public sector but true throughout) - Excellent compensation and perks - Outstanding colleagues; best and the brightest from all fields / backgrounds (think Rhodes scholars) create a really rich intellectual atmosphere

Cons

- Work-life balance can be challenging with the travel, as with all top firms, but leadership seems to truly care and is driving a number of initiatives to make things more manageable

One of the best companies one can think of in terms of client work, topics, culture and colleagues

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Office culture and atmosphere among colleagues is great, personal growth for consulting staff is good but quite mixed for the business support team members. - There is lot of information disseminated in terms of what's going on in the company. - The company has set up a good training program which is enlarged every year. People have the opportunity to attend two trainings per year and are encouraged to make use of it.

Cons

Opporunities to take over a new role in other internal departments could be better promoted.
