Simon-Kucher & Partners Reviews

Pros

Amazing culture and life experience. Continuous training and climbing the promotion ladder. The company strongly promotes a positive work environment. Smartest and nicest people I have worked with who are always there to help. As a strategy consultant you are looking for three things - Interesting projects, creating real life impact, and engagement with the C-suite. You will get to experience all three here on a regular basis. Company talks a lot about valuing the entrepreneurial spirit of employees and they actually mean it. You get to participate in business development and overall strategic direction of the firm from very early on.

Cons

None I can think about except for typical consulting stuff such as travelling and long hours time to time.

Pros

Fantastic leadership, growing company. Right balance of stimulating work that does not take over your life.

Cons

Work-life balance can vary depending on what sector / partner you are working with

Pros

- Company has been enjoying above-market success and growth for decades, with recent years being particularly strong. This means it is on a strong growth trajectory with a bright future, creating a real optimistic buzz in the office given the constant wins - Work is fascinating and niche providing a unique opportunity to excel beyond other areas in consulting - Despite pricing focus, all the typical consulting toolkit skills are picked up along with a strong development plan - Strategy, marketing and sales are ever-present and growing products - People are great, with a fairly flat culture and positive atmosphere - Perks are great (healthcare including dental, 6-month rotations to other offices, generous expense allowances, international training, etc)

Cons

- The pay is good but could be better. It is more along the lines of Big4 than top consultancy firms - Bonuses are quite low but this should be changing in the future as the company continues its success

Pros

You get really good at Excel and Powerpoint

Cons

The pay is ridiculous There are ZERO women in leadership positions in most offices Sexism is rife - people are unfriendly and rude Bro culture to the max

Pros

Highly motivating environment. Great projects and good teamspirit

Cons

As projects are now heavily strategic, workload has increased as well. Non-monetary benefits behind big consultancy companies
