Hearing a lot of talk about Strategy& lately. Curious about the culture and hours. Which verticals are notoriously rough? Which are known as great?

Great place. Top comp. Hours are worse than the peerset. Interesting problems. Good deals channel and cost cutting platforms.

If you’re worried about hours, steer clear of deals.

Culture has made huge improvements over the last 5 years (integration is tough). I’m very happy here.

Can you speak to the industry specific verticals like industrials, TMT, HIA, and consumer markets?

I can’t. The way I see it, the verticals are large and we can work across them. They are just the home base. Doesn’t seem to affect us much.

Thanks! Anyone else from S& care to chime in?

If there are certain verticals that are notoriously good or bad in terms of hours and quality of leadership or if it’s a mixed bag as S1 says. For example, I’ve heard Deals Strategy is terrible in terms of hours but great in terms of culture and leadership. Curious about insights like that but about other verticals.

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
