Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Oliver Wyman full-time
Pros
good benefits, get to piggy back on the benefits the consultants receive. Some really intelligent people to work with
Cons
Some questionable people at the top of some of the functions, the way some people are treated is shocking. There is no leading by example, decisions are based on whether your face fits and if it doesn't then you will be made to feel it. Some of the promotion decisions made are very questionable. You are made to work very hard for little reward or development. Long hours culture.
