Sweatshop
I started here in July and I think the sweatshop culture is overblown. It’s hard work but it is consulting
Life looks fairly different on those growth strategy cases. Those were alway the best. Good learning. Goodish (50ish) hours. Good bonding with the team.
M2…wait for your 1st 2-3 week industrials or healthcare CDD then report back.
Everyone is really smart here. Definite confidence boost if you can succeed. Can be intimidating / tough to adjust when compounded with long hours. We’re still figuring out the WFH thing (e.g., optimizing for efficiency and WLB). Truly a “growth strategy” firm, you’ll be on a new project every 4-5 weeks. As a firm we need to incorporate upward feedback more. That will solve a lot of our problems given new MBA grads run the bulk of our teams.
Hours are tough, but I don’t find them to be worse than what my friends from b school at MBB are pulling, and definitely better than some other firms that do similar work. I think we’re busier during the day than other firms, with a lot of deliverables throughout the day which can wear you down. People are generally nice, and EM comp is stellar
Search the consulting bowl and see.
Depends what level you come in at. The A - C role is definitely a sweatshop. The EM+ looks to be a bit more manageable and probably more interesting as well. Burn comes from non stop due diligence work and the expectation to be on call during the iteration cycle. Its a grind relative to the other strategy firms because it’s repetitive work, albeit in new interesting industries, with an expectation to go till 10-12 three nights of the week. Growth strategy aspect is BS from my experience
Where are you at now?
Depends on you to be honest. Lots of people like working here. For me though, the firm has ground the joy out of life for me over the last year since I joined.
Just joined. Happy to answer questions
EM life isn’t that bad. Similar WLB as other firms with very little travel but who knows what that’s worth these days.
60-65 hour weeks are very common
It’s fine tbh. I average 60 hours a week.
Thanks all. How about culture of the different offices?
Def west coast is chiller
