Dubai office not a great shape

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent brand but would not compare it with McKinsey, Bain or BCG Great and intelligent people Good track record in the region Nice and modern office

Cons

Work/life balance is terrible Salaries are not competitive Company is literally collapsing after the top partners left the firm

5.0

Jul 11, 2014

Rapidly growing; demanding but meritocratic, with opportunities for fast progression given high performance culture

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of smart people; strong opportunities for personal and career growth (requires high level of pro-activeness); generous expense policies and lots of perks (i.e. all-hands meetings in Cancun etc.); great compensation; strong culture and very likely to remain independent (unlike other similar sized firms)

Cons

Work-life balance can be difficult, especially when you are on strategy/PE projects - sourcing/ops work offers great work-life balance but is not always as interesting; some variability in talent (some projects have amazingly smart people and others less so- the shift to a high performance culture should remedy this going forward)

2.0

Apr 9, 2014

Great people esp. at junior level. Unclear annual compensation review

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people especially at manager level and below. Intelligent, sociable and genuinely want to help fellow colleagues.

Cons

At senior level, some partners are difficult to deal with. Career progression depends on support from partners and who your mentor is. Compensation is decided during annual review and can be totally misaligned with project(s) performance during the year. Doing well in each project engagement throughout the year may not translate to good annual review and therefore, zero bonus!
