Mid-sized consultancy.
Collaborative culture
Comp is average at best
Heard culture is very strong
Enables people who like consulting to have staying power



Basically, it's the exact opposite of the big 4.

Don't do it! Kool aid company who thinks culture is more important than comp! Big mistake!!!

I wouldn’t consider it mid-sized since they have <1k consultants.

*Culture is really big and really good- for the most part everyone is helpful.
*Depending on the practice you’ll just be a PM though so if you’re looking for more meaningful work then I would pass.
*They sell their ESOP but it doesn’t vest for 3 yrs. At $120k salary I received $5k in the ESOP— so I wouldn’t bank on it being something substantial like they try to sell.

I would only go to WMP if you were still looking for project-based work but not really concerned about the kind of work you do.

Mind sharing your hours and if the projects are interesting and valuable?

A good culture will give you staying power. What's the point of getting 20% higher comp where you're in a meat grinder and ready to jump off the building.

Left to industry after 8 years from C to M. Picked up 50% comp bump on the way out. Great culture, but comp was not competitive and eventually pushed me to look elsewhere.

What’s the pay like at the senior manager level?

I have never negotiated other than being asked what I was looking for when hired...I came in experienced at 150... few years later COL increase (not Chicago ) as well as a manger increase to market value last year, here I am.

What are the levels there?

Consultant > Experienced Consultant > Senior Consultant > Manager/Architect/Principal > Senior Manager/Architect/Principal > Director

There also levels to director but assume that doesn’t concern you here.
