Bad from what I’ve heard.

Europe offices outside of Northern Europe generally are not lifestyle spots to be in for consulting. RB is tier 1 in Europe so expect similar hours to mbb

like

Germany generally has 38.5 hrs week, paid sick leave from social sec, vacation, weekend work is strictly regulated

Well, German labor law is not exactly enforced in any consulting company :D at least the hours are probably more 60-70 compared to the “official” 40h in your contract.

Not good, consulting in Germany in more international firms already has bad hours. RB is also very much a boys’ club, if you care about that.
