I have been working at Simon-Kucher & Partners full-time (Less than a year)
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
Advice to Management
Increase compensation by 10% on all lower levels to retain talent
