Recruiter approaches from Roland Berger and ZS Associates. I'm in healthcare. I know ZS are big in healthcare, whereas at RB I would be part of a (re-)building practice. FB - which should I go for?

Why don't you interview at both?

To me the risk with consulting and being a part of a rebuilding practice is your utilization will be terrible. You'll work your ass off but some other group might get one huge project and make people not on it look terrible. Additionally, if you do well it probably won't take much to get promoted and then you will be at a high level without the experience a SM at a larger firm has. So when you leave, you will get steamed rolled by others at your same level. Possibly. But those are some of the risks I see.

Come to ZS! Tons of opportunities and we do a lot of strategy work. We're expanding in to a lot of other areas that you might not traditionally associate with ZS too.

I've heard from folks who have worked at other firms that ZS has a better culture than most. I've stayed in consulting much longer than I expected mainly because I love the people I work with. There are a few bad apples here and there as with most places, but I generally admire the people I work with

What about culture at the two firms?

@D1, I probably will. Just wondered if the fishbowl has anything to say about them.

I've heard RB does more strategy than Zs

EY1 makes very real/valid points. on the flip side, if you help build something and stay... good on you. get in on the ground(ish) floor and you got your path set there
