Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Roland Berger full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Great brand, incredibly smart people, good learning curve, great exit opportunities across PE, Corporates, Startups . Headhunters will contact you everyweek for top exits.
Cons
Terrible managers, no HR, no flexibility, still unclear on the staffing policy only thing clear is no interest in consultant interests or career growth. Lot of difference between offices between culture and career opportunities. London is focused on DDs (80%) and on Aerospace/Industrial. Top clients and brand within these industries (Rolls-Royce, Airbus, KKR, Blackstone).

Pros
High levels of responsibility even at junior levels Work life balance is good (for a consulting firm) Opportunities for international work Mixture of short and long projects
Cons
Heavy focus (in London office, very different in other offices) on Aerospace & Defense/Private Equity work, if this doesn't interest you, you're better off looking elsewhere

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Roland Berger full-time for less than a year
Pros
1. The work at RB London is extremely varied and always interesting. Our key industries are Aerospace and Private Equity, however there is scope to be involved in practically any industry of your choosing if you are prepared to join an international team. The nature of PE work means you are exposed to a huge variety of different industries with short 2-4 week projects. 2. The London office is small (c. 70 staff in total) which makes it easy for a new joiner to get to know everyone quickly, which greatly helps calm the settling in nerves! Everyone is very friendly and more than happy to answer your questions. There is also a relatively flat hierarchy, which means higher-ups will listen to your opinions regardless of your rank. This may not be experienced at other consulting firms. 3. Lots and lots of training! Upon joining you are sent for 2 weeks of training with 50 of your international colleagues in the Alps. This is a great way to expand your business network and learn a whole host of hard and soft consulting skills. There are also multiple training sessions each year which involve flying over to Germany for 2-3 days (this time in much smaller groups). 4. The culture (both globally and in the London office) is very positive, and there is a real sense of togetherness within the firm.
Cons
1. Naturally, a smaller office means a smaller direct professional network (however this can be replaced by a much wider international network). 2. If you do not wish to work in Aerospace/PE/Industrials then you may be forced to work more internationally when specialising later in your career.

Very smart people, who are all social and up for having a good time too. Consultants are professional without taking themselves too seriously, resulting in a collaborative, pleasant working environment!
Cons
Needs to be more emphasis on investing in Roland Berger thought pieces and IP! Brand is still lagging behind its key, US competitors
