Good compensation and flexible environment with a lot of autonomy. Office locations in desirable cities. High-impact client work on project engagements.

Pros

One of the best reasons beside the fact that your career will be boosted by the fact that you work for one of the top tier consultancies is the very collaborative and friendly working environment. Of course everybody needs to perform, but you have nice people around you, you also like to see in your free-time.

Cons

Well, everybody must know whether or not Management Consulting is what one wants. If you are not willing to give 100% for this job, you will not succeed. That of course obliges a certain trade-off in your personal life.

Pros

Career progression can be really rapid at OW if you are are a star; Generally enjoy the people who I worked with; Work on exciting projects;

Cons

Zero (literally, zero) name recognition - I don't think I've ever had one person that is actually familiar with the company - they have a really bad brand recognition problem; Work life balance is bad but similar to other consulting firms;
