Pros

The pay is reasonable, and you get to live a pretty nice lifestyle while traveling for work. That said there is a clear difference between Oliver Wyman and the Bains, BCGs, and McKinseys of the world as far a perception goes. HR was always vary helpful. The people you work with are very smart and usually nice. You get exposure to lots of different industries, companies etc etc. Yeah, that is about all I can say about it. I wouldnt work there again. I would work at a boutique firm. Also, pay is the same across all geographies which hurts if you are in NYC.

Cons

They are downsizing very fast right now

Pros

Good culture, solid pay, good benefits

Cons

Same as with most big companies. HR a little too focused on DEI and feel good inclusion initiatives over things that matter to most employees and clients. Top management messaging is generic and seems forced. But all senior leadership seem fairly genuine and good people vs. hyper focused on dollars alone.
