Pros
I was here for only 1 year in 2017-18. I moved from another consultancy, a UK based global one, to CV. Even back then, it was becoming very clear that this place was coasting on past glory. I spent a year before moving to a business insights position at a large pharma MNC in New York.
Cons
All in all, I would not repeat my experience at CV and I would not recommend it to other. There were, probably still are, some great consultants and analysts at CV. But the layer above creates does not know how to run projects. They are all at CV because they are good at getting into the good books of the partners. We do all the heavy lifting and get all the projects and get all the criticism, while they take all the credit. There is no training to speak of and the poor analysts learn everything by working long hours and weekends. However no one is given any credit and work just piles on and on and on.
