Have heard culture is awful, WLB nonexistent, comp & exits 10/10

likesmart

Ya heard wrong about the culture and WLB. Yes it’s long hours but that’s generally consulting. I have gotten to work with some great people and some really cool projects. Very rarely do I work weekends and the partners I work with protect and respect that. Comp is 10/10 so far. Exits seems to be pretty good too

uplifting

S& alumnus here. Initially the culture was very poor right after the acquisition. It was a very us vs them culture (I was part of a pwc team that was also an acquisition and then all rolled into S&). There used to be a caste system on projects where legacy booz folks would do the attractive strategy and framework pieces and leave the non legacy folks to pick up the pieces and drive the results, with blame being laid solely on the executing team if they couldnt deliver.
In the beginning there was also a sense of entitlement atleast with the SA and M level folks that they were somehow inherently better than their pwc peers. Not particularly healthy if you’re trying to tell the world that you are one firm.
I hear the culture is better in newer practices like the one in Canada that’s not too old, but that may be because of the talent being all new and from the ground up.

Happy to hear that. It’ll be 8 years now nearly to the announcement of the takeover. Either the toxic people have left and/ or the kinks have worked out. Like I said I think they put out great work and thought leadership. But at the end of the day it’s the people who really make the firm tick

Would be good to hear about comp as well please !

S&'s SM is basically an M2/M3 it seems like that you do for about a year then become a director

Comp is strong, although not sure if it will be a huge gap vs AP. Good camaraderie and support but WLB is tough
