Work life balance isn’t great

Stimulating work, high intellectual level and complex contexts Great people, with ability and integrity and fun Healthy culture, meritocratic but supportive
Cons
55+ hours per week (many more in a deadline week) Travel including international
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people Real opportunities to learn and develop

Poor work life balance, with little control Often quite chaotic internally on a project, with less structured development than is promised
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great people, challenging work, & high impact work
Cons
Lots of long hours and ambiguous problems
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Interesting and varied project load, great people, work/life balance increasingly prioritized, decent compensation (taking into account work load), professional and structured approach to career development, great place to learn rigour and skills you'll need regardless of where you continue your career
Cons
Common with short deadlines that drives long hours to satisfy partners' (or ambitious project leaders') promises to clients, a varied project load also leads to some (much) less interesting assignments, at times high travel load

Continue reading - Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people, great culture, great work atmosphere that brings the best out of everybody.
Cons
I do not have any
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Fantastic company. Great atmosphere, great people, true focus on deep client impact. Unrivalled learning experience from the moment you join all through your career
Cons
The work is intense, clients are demanding. Not particularly a 9-5 job. Not a problem as long as you get satisfaction from your cases and as long as you are doing well, but can be tough in difficult client settings
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great people (highly intelligent, motivated and nice), great culture, and generally great work. Also lots of perks: good compensation (inc. bonus), gym, generous expenses policy, office trips etc. Also strong social impact commitment.
Cons
Long hours, travel can be difficult sometimes
