Oliver Wyman fishes, what is the public sector practice like at OW in the Middle East? Used to see them and hear of them a lot a few years ago, see them less now in Saudi Arabia compared to a few years ago. Are they hiring? What is the culture like? Leadership? Partners? See a lot of new faces too - has there been a churn?

Seems “Lebanese” is the new answer of folks who know zit.

OP : team is the same plus 2/3 more ex booz partners. Practice run by a Belgian partner who replaced the ex NZ leader. They are doing great and have a diversified client base

Ah thanks. That makes sense…

They are hiring but selectively. Leadership and culture is dominated by Lebanese, so you need to get along with some of their habits.

Ah good! That is good to hear. Generally OW comes across as a healthy outfit culturally.
What about the comments about the churn? Have the old partners left? Are the new Lebanese partners driving the practice?
