Pros

- Challenging and intellectually stimulating case work - Work with top flight talent from all over the world - International casework experience very common - Meritocratic career review and promotion system

Cons

- Quality of work/life balance varies greatly from one case / partner to the next; sometimes it's great, other times, you can't wait for the case to be over - Difficult (though not impossible) to join and progress midway through career progression model; most successful partners are either direct hires or promoted up through the ranks from analyst

Pros

Best place to start if you want to specialise in Financial Services immediately. You get the chance to work on sometimes very high-level engagements for corporates or public institutions in this sector. Great travel as assignments are staffed on a global level. Incredibly clever people with an output orientation - working long hours is not manadatory or even wanted.

Cons

Travel can have very tough impact on your social life - hard to maintain relationships when you are on cases far away from home. Projects can sometimes become very challenging from a political point of view (that is, within the teams).

Pros

London office has a pretty good office spirit, and the entertainment budget is generous on most projects so there are plenty of opportunities for bonding with team members. Oliver Wyman brand name is also pretty respected, so exit opps are favourable, especially in non-profit and private equity. Long-term nature of most of the projects done out of the London office mean that the office is relatively immune to short-term fluctuations in the economy.

Cons

London office is till pretty small so there isn't that much by way of diversity in terms of projects that you can be staffed onto - mostly in retail, and mostly outside of London in England.
