      Pros

      The bonuses were great. They made up for the low base salary, or maybe mine was just low. Firm days in New York were fun.

      Cons

      Bullying by some partners: somepartners were unprofessional in their treatment of staff and use staff's personal situations as weapons during job-end and year-end reviews.

      Pros

      Good opportunities for international staffing assignments, pay is on par with top consulting firms )(at least below senior manager/partner levels), people are generally quite friendly

      Cons

      Unpredictable travel and work demands can make planning your life pretty challenging. The merger of OW and Mercer Management was a failure generally speaking.

      Pros

      Oliver Wyman provides a faster track to partnership than competitors. Partially this is achieved through faster specialization. No MBA is required for advancement (though they are sponsored if you want one). The extra time in the industry is viewed as more beneficial than the MBA. The culture is very meritocratic, entrepreneurial and team-oriented with almost no work-place politics to deal with.

      Cons

      If you're not in consulting for the long-haul, it offers a less-clear "value proposition." The brand name isn't as good as competing firms, which may be important for your next career (though I hope this will slowly change). The lack of emphasis on an MBA may hinder your future career choices outside Oliver Wyman unless you make obtaining one a personal priority.
