Can someone describe the work culture at Roland Berger for me? I’m curious to know what the work life balance is like, whether the PMs and Partners are generally nice, and what the promotion process would be like for an experienced hire (is it fair?))

I would say depends on country and office. Where are you looking to apply?

They know what they are doing. Business is crazy right now and PMs don’t always get enough support from partners. The PMs who know what they are doing manage that well while the inexperienced ones often struggle a bit.

It’s a small team and therefore not standardized. The work is highly customer focused and specific, little repetitive outside DD’s. That’s great for personal development and being challenged but makes life difficult if the person in charge is not up to it

Don’t expect to balance a family with it. 12 hour days as standard

Very extensive career track from entry to Partner conducted this year. RB is the median company across the entire field of strategy consultants. Biggest difference is we don’t have up or out so there are people with longer career cycles than at firms with strict up or out.

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?
