Pros

Oliver Wyman provides great opportunities to work with a variety of people in a variety of locations and industries right after you join. Unlike most management consultancies, you get a lot of say in the industry you prefer, which makes it easier to pick your expertise, your managers, and your teammates.

Cons

Unfortunately, nobody has heard of us. I constantly find myself explaining who we are and I am often apologetic for it. The rebranding effort was a failure - the Mercer brand was stronger - and recent cutbacks in recruiting have further dropped our brand recognition.

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.
