Pros

Multinational consultancy with a good reputation around the world. Full of people who are experts in their chosen fields of work. Very rare to find people there who do not have, at least, a Masters degree.

Cons

Noticeable turnover of the grades B to D staff. When there are not enough projects to keep everyone busy, junior members could be relegated to doing menial tasks (or bluntly, begging for work) just to make up the expected 40 hours in their timesheets.

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
