Great consultancy that's going places

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Simon-Kucher has a great work culture, with awesome partners and directors, free snacks in the offices, and a reasonable travel and work schedule. Expect to travel only once or twice a month (on average). Furthermore, many of the directors and partners have families, and are comfortable with consultants balancing family requirements with work schedules. Finally, the company has a great review policy, and is is fair when providing promotions. Oh yeah - we also have an AMAZING holiday party IN GERMANY.

Cons

The major downside to Simon-Kucher is the relatively limited scope of the consultancy. Most projects will center around pricing, although there are many sales and marketing strategy projects as well. Fortunately, pricing is a much broader field than many people expect. the only other con is the pay, which is a bit lower than many competing consultancies.

Great culture, good benefits, okay hours

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture! Great group of young professionals who are smart, motivated, and not too serious. Merit based promotions that can be as often as every six months. High level of trust, respect, and openness between partners and consultants.

Cons

Management can be overly focused on saving a few bucks here and there and lose sight of their most important assets.
