      Pros

      Oliver Wyman offers a challenging work environment, smart co-workers and competitive salary/benefits. The firm also does have unique intellectual capital which differentiates itself from other top-tier competitors. The firm requires consultants to specialize along vertical industries earlier than other firms which is valuable from a client standpoint.

      Cons

      Firstly, some practices rely on too few clients for revenue resulting in a very tenuous situation where one of two clients pull back. Secondly, the promotion from within culture, and deemphasizing MBA hiring leads to a unidimensional consultant profile and consultants lack a large network as they grow through their careers. Detrimental to growing business.

      Pros

      Oliver Wyman used to offer faster career projection and higher compensation than other leading consulting firms. Although this has changed over the past year, Oliver Wyman is still a great consulting firm to work for because people are smart, and there is less hierarchy here than other consulting firms. Alumni go to good positions or top MBA programs.

      Cons

      Career projection is slower now given it is no longer a start-up. Compensation is also lower given the new compensation system and the overall economy . There is less formal training than offered at other consulting firms. Things are slower now because of the economy.
