      Pros

      Like many of the top consulting shops, the firm has great clients, interesting work, and very smart employees. The culture is perhaps more down to earth than MBB in general. The firm has some solid depth in both industries and services/functions.

      Cons

      The firm is struggling with how to integrate its three legacy companies, which had 3 distinct operating models and cultures. Legacy Mercer Management was a classic strategy shop across industries, legacy Oliver Wyman did a full range of work from strategy to ops to implementation in the financial industry, and Delta did organization and leadership work across industries. The firm still operates essentially as 3 separate units which is a huge problem.

      Pros

      Very fair Provides great opportunity for senior consultants to succeed and be rewarded High quality colleague base Great reputation / brand

      Cons

      Not particular to OW, but as with all consulting jobs - its about selling work. Poor cooperation between practices creates untapped potential.

      Rising discontent among consultants. Very few projects for front-office. Poor exit opportunities.

      Pros

      Fun and collegial atmosphere within the junior consultant ranks Above average starting compensation (but compensation quickly becomes below average after a few years) Travel opportunities readily available if desired

      Cons

      Very poor exit opportunities to other jobs Poor communication and dialogue with senior management Professional development not really considered in staffing decisions, i.e. staffing is more to fill holes than allowing people to pursue opportunities of interest Work-life balance has become an issue Many senior managers and partners have poor management skills Most projects are consulting for back office - few projects consult for front-office. As a result, most work is done with risk, IT, and accounting, which are not well aligned with what most consultants thought they signed up for.
