Simon-Kucher reviews

The firm had promise but consistently demonstrated lack of judgement at the leadership level. - reviews were incredibly cumbersome and poorly implemented - massive expenditures on rebranding that did not generate business - highly political senior leadership (more infighting than collaboration) - RIFs and PIPs to new joiners who didn't have an opportunity to succeed - Unchecked favoritism to homegrown individuals

Low diversity, Chicago team was setup without much planning, leadership was promoted quickly and have very little management experience. The company is experiencing significant churn, lot of dissatisfaction within the firm, lots of good consultants and managers have left. Chicago Office is struggling to recruit internally and is looking outside. Internal team well aware of bad management here. The firm claims to be entrepreneurial but it’s an excuse for not being organized. Still Touting digitization strategies from the early 2000s. Is trying to control attrition through meaningless changes like annual bonus vs. half year, etc. has no interest in making the workplace more desirable to work in.
