      - Overall a great consulting company with brand power within financial services

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great bonuses - Very entrepreneurial - Start managing projects early on - lots of responsibility - Great people, young at heart - Global staffing opportunity

      Cons

      - More unstructured compared to other consulting firms - No formal titles -- e.g. when you become a manager, a senior manager - Not many with MBAs so may seem a bit immature from a age perspective - Sometimes feel like a place with fiefdoms because of the lack of structure

      The firm comes first

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Well paid positions - Opportunity to learn a lot within a short timeframe - Nice location in Paris - Opportunies to work abroad

      Cons

      - Like in most consultancies you can expect to put in many hours and week ends. The Paris office seems to be one of the worst within the firm in that respect - Stupid assessment of your performance: your grades go up as your time in grade progresses and not regardless of it - Being political is a must if you wanna be promoted in the long run - The office is not a team but a collection of clans - Tons of pressure depending on the partners / managers you work for. Some managers there maybe think they are surgeons fighting to save the clients lives. Everything is "urgent", "top priority", "due within the hour"... Many of them have trouble in managing the clients' demands and cant say no. All this at the expense of your personal life
