Pros

Inclusion and Diversity initiatives with many networking groups including WOW (Women of Oliver Wyman), GLOW, EMPOWERED as well as events. Traction in some areas such as Financial Services

Minimal if any women equality in their Automotive and Manufacturing Industry Practice with partners, associate partners or consultants. No recent (over 5 years) hiring of women in any of these roles in North America office. Pay equality concerns. Little to no mentorship or coaching.

Pros

Simply put, my time at Oliver Wyman changed my career trajectory. The people there are amazing -- diverse, smart, and driven, but also incredibly humble and approachable considering how accomplished they are. The firm creates tremendous opportunities for people with an entrepreneurial bent to build their careers.

Cons

The typical downsides of a consulting profession: lots of travel, the mix of work at any one time being dictated by the macro environment (i.e. when conditions are tough you do cost management and regulatory compliance work), steep learning curves.
