Business Outlook
Pros
Oliver Wyman offers a challenging work environment, smart co-workers and competitive salary/benefits. The firm also does have unique intellectual capital which differentiates itself from other top-tier competitors. The firm requires consultants to specialize along vertical industries earlier than other firms which is valuable from a client standpoint.
Cons
Firstly, some practices rely on too few clients for revenue resulting in a very tenuous situation where one of two clients pull back. Secondly, the promotion from within culture, and deemphasizing MBA hiring leads to a unidimensional consultant profile and consultants lack a large network as they grow through their careers. Detrimental to growing business.
