Pros

- Opportunities to gain experience and get involved from day 1, e.g. responsibility for own project deliverables & outputs, client facetime (regardless of seniority) - Interesting & challenging projects ranging from regulation to strategy to other relevant and current topics affecting the sector you work in - Smooth collaboration within teams, smart colleagues to learn from and everyone makes an effort to welcome and onboard people - Entrepreneurial vibe where autonomy, individual input and ideas are welcome - Fantastic working environment: diverse office, great rapport across all teams and levels, with an overall very open and professional approach - Work-life balance is truly special for the consulting industry. Employee wellbeing is looked after, incl. social activities - Access to more senior staff for guidance/feedback

Cons

- Limited crossover between practices, so little opportunity to get experience outside of own industry/team - Some internal processes could be better developed and standardised

Pros

- Depending on the business unit, you can find supportive, friendly colleagues. There is a strong sense of camaraderie at the peer level, which makes day-to-day work more pleasant. - There is also a relatively good work-life balance overall. However, it is sometimes unclear whether this is the result of a genuine company culture that prioritizes balance, or rather a consequence of inconsistent planning and organization, which can lead to periods of under- or over-allocation. - Decent healthcare benefits

Cons

- Clear lack of structure and transparency, particularly regarding promotions, bonuses, and compensation adjustments. Processes are inconsistent, often unclear, and sometimes feel arbitrary. In several cases, expected salary adjustments were delayed, minimized, or only granted after persistent follow-up. Bonuses are not always proactively distributed and may require employees to explicitly chase them. - Favoritism is a concern, with recognition and advancement not always based on merit. The culture at higher levels can sometimes feel unprofessional, with blurred boundaries that create discomfort. - Long-term employees tend to feel undervalued over time. Many leave after around two years, often because they see a very limited progression. - Overall impression that the company tends to optimize costs at the expense of employees whenever possible, which affects trust and long-term engagement. - Leadership tolerates or fails to address inappropriate, unprofessional, or toxic behaviors. It can go unchecked for years, with action only taken very late, sometimes for reasons unrelated to the misconduct..
