Pros

- Mostly relaxed company culture - Most people are very fun, easy to get along with - People genuinely want the best for you and are very supportive

Cons

- Experience is very luck determined. If you get on good projects with good managers, then it's great. However, there are a lot of bad managers without any compassion or feelings at Oliver Wyman - Too much work in FS. It's difficult to get onto very exciting or transformative projects. - Hours are long. Best hours I've ever worked at 8:30am to around 9pm. For a long time I was working 9am to 2 or 3am everyday. - Managers do not show appreciation for work enough. Giving compliments doesn't seem to be a part of the culture. Firm culture mostly penalizes what is done wrong, without really praising what is done well. - Reviews are very biased and not impartial at all.

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
