Thoughts on OW Canada? For those working at OW, What is the WLB like? What kind of projects do you do in Canada?

OW's response during the pandemic was the opposite of what P1 described above. Leadership committed to protecting jobs and no downsizing within the consulting staff took place in Canada. The firm was extremely supportive and flexible during the early and confusing periods of COVID.

OW Toronto and Montreal are both filled with fantastic people and have a great collegial atmosphere. WLB is entirely project dependent, and not a function of being in Canada. We work in integrated teams with our US colleagues, so industry/project focus is quite varied. If you're interested in staying in Toronto, financial services work dominates. In Montreal, aviation/transportation dominates. In ~3.5 years at the firm, I'd say about 40% of my projects were based in Canada.

How about experienced hires with no consulting background? (PhD and industry experience)

I love OW and the people I work with. Awesome salary / benefits for Canada too. WLB can be a concern, but that’s a challenge across all consulting firms. You have to like travel though (pre-covid at least). Also, many of our projects tend to be more quantitative in nature.

Pretty similar to MBB. Over 100k total comp in your first year. Maybe twice that amount after 3 years for an average performer.

Don't know the answer to your question but I know OW hired and fired new Associates pretty fast when the going got a bit tough in 2008. Some were let go within the first 3 months of joining so I made a mental note to stay away from this firm.

Based on the people who got recruited right before or during the 2008 crisis, I heard something different from Partner 1. People might be on the bench more (not like close to 100% utilization now), but they were not let go.

My source is a couple of buddies from bschool who were affected then. Were they an isolated case? Maybe.
