Pluspunten

Junior Associate to Junior Managers are good, talented people. Probably just missed MBB and so are smart. Plenty to learn. Internal training seemed pretty good.

Minpunten

Principle and Partners are DREADFUL. Many long in the tooth, hangers on who are in reality super managers not principles or partners as you would see at other firms. They are all basically procurement specialists (you'll be handed a copy of The CPO at some stage for sure). Many lack personality and there is very little in the way of leadership qualities including the integrity to make tough calls or take the time to develop people. Diversity means just getting more women into the firm not actually getting talent from other spheres in. I came from a non traditional background and one of the principles asked for me to be removed from a project because apparently I had nothing to offer. By this she meant I hadn't worked in...you guessed it...procurement before.

Pluspunten

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Minpunten

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
