Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very fair Provides great opportunity for senior consultants to succeed and be rewarded High quality colleague base Great reputation / brand

Cons

Not particular to OW, but as with all consulting jobs - its about selling work. Poor cooperation between practices creates untapped potential.

Rising discontent among consultants. Very few projects for front-office. Poor exit opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Fun and collegial atmosphere within the junior consultant ranks Above average starting compensation (but compensation quickly becomes below average after a few years) Travel opportunities readily available if desired

Cons

Very poor exit opportunities to other jobs Poor communication and dialogue with senior management Professional development not really considered in staffing decisions, i.e. staffing is more to fill holes than allowing people to pursue opportunities of interest Work-life balance has become an issue Many senior managers and partners have poor management skills Most projects are consulting for back office - few projects consult for front-office. As a result, most work is done with risk, IT, and accounting, which are not well aligned with what most consultants thought they signed up for.

-smart people -informal, friendly culture -good travel benefits -free snacks! -very international staffing (most people have worked on multiple projects abroad and projects are staffed quite internationally) -attractive comp relative to other consultancies -colleagues are happy to share and take time to mentor you

Cons

-very little predictability over your schedule (both hours and location) -company is very much adapting from being a small company to being a larger one, and infrastructure lags in a number of areas -a few poor managers can make for some occasionally unpleasant projects
