Business Outlook

Pros

- Leading Financial services practice, with high profile industry changing projects - Down to earth, collegial atmosphere with an appreciation for diversity - Good benefits and pension - Opportunities within other parts of the Oliver Wyman and Marsh McLennan group

Cons

- Traditionally a conglomorate of firms with different cultures and ways of operating - these make collaboration difficult (but that is changing with ambitious top down initiatives to become one firm) - Brand is probably still understated and less recognized especially outside of financial services sector

A great place to work with dynamic, intelligent people and kick-start your career

Business Outlook

Pros

Really entrepreneurial, so you can still "get something done" if you have a good idea and some dedication. You get paid very well, and the whole group of people from consultants to partners is incredibly intelligent. The culture of learning on the job gets everyone involved, and pulls you up in terms of capabilities.

Cons

Often end up specialising too early, so get less of the broad industry and strategic background. There are a lot of long projects, that require weekly travel. It becomes the norm to be shuttling back and forth (Monday to Thursday) from the client location. Demands on time can be extreme, especially when you are away from home so often and are being asked to contribute to firm-wide activities on the side.
