Business Outlook

Pros

Entrepreneurship, freedom to take initiatives and supportive management International exposure with multiple opportunities either in the local office or in the 'new countries' Unique positioning on "top line" topics, ie. far away from cost cutting, restructuring and IT stuff

Cons

A fast moving environment might be difficult for more junior associates, but you cannot expect anything else in a company growing way above 10% every year...

Pros

Simon-Kucher has been a great experience. The focus on pricing means we are experts in a growing field. We help companies make more money, which is a great skill to have, especially in Silicon Valley, The growth trajectory of the company is exciting to be a part of and beneficial in terms of opportunities. Recent investments in training and PR formalize the commitment I feel from leadership to help me succeed. (After all, it benefits both of us if I publish an article or can grow faster in my project work) Additional perk: Every December the entire company gathers in Germany for the World Meeting and Holiday Party. Many of us travel after with colleagues.

Cons

Our west coast office hasn't always had the same support in terms of recruiting, HR, & PR. However, this is improving. Pay should be increased 15-20%, especially considering the alternative options at tech companies around the bay area. The commute to Mountain View gets old quick.
