Pros

- Work on many different client companies from different industries - Okay work life balance - Good culture and team - Generally good hard skills training

Cons

- Management likes to lure people to the company by painting beautiful pastures of strategy consulting and private equity, which is not the case - Cold calling is the bread and butter of the business here and the management makes 0% effort to sell other more meaningful projects that makes more meaningful impact like other offices - Learning curve lasts for about a year until you become a call center robot. - Very limited opportunities to actually think because basically most project they just give you a template to fill - Bad review system which comprise of a "360 degrees" rating: 1. Do you like me score? (Weight 100%) and 2. Rating by key hard and soft skills (Weight 0%, meaning that it does not matter at all how hard you actually worked , people just give a score based on gut feelings and the scores are not even aligned) - Leading from the biased review system, most people would never even the promised bonus because it's almost impossible to get a 3.0 score, therefore pay is also very misleading - Very opportunistic management that does not properly reward people for their work, using Covid as a blant excuse i.e. interns who worked long hours without pay - Tenacity to overload underpaid analysts because they are cheap and make P&L look nice while higher position who are more often on the beach for long while -Management and mid level people too young and do not know how to manage lower levels, just know how to management up. - Terrible business ethics with many shady practices

Pros

Can’t find anything positive here

Cons

Very bad company, very underhanded leaderships, very nasty leaderships and mindset of management. They fired the Middle East team and tried very aggressively to avoid paying any of the severance legally owed to the staff. Is this the company and leaders you want to work with? I don’t think so.
