Pros

I worked in Stradegi's Singapore team for over two years. A relatively young consultancy which focuses exclusively on investment management and has close to 200 consultants globally, Stradegi is a very interesting combination of a niche management consultancy with the agility of startup (literally no bureaucracy). A great place for young and ambitious people to learn the investment management business by working hand-on alongside some of the largest asset managers (they have a solid client base), get noticed by the senior management and grow quickly within the firm. Stradegi is also very selective while hiring new people (you will go through at least 5 rounds of case studies/interviews) which results in some of the smartest folks with extremely impressive track records in the team. Above all there is a sense of camaraderie within the team which I feel is priceless (in fact I’m still very well connected with most of my Stradegi colleagues even after so many days).

Cons

Every firm has its challenges and Stradegi is no exception. I feel the flat organisation structure is not very suitable for a management consultancy, especially in Asia. I think had there been a clear position hierarchy within the firm the consultants would have had a lot more clarity about their career progression as well as about the management’s expectation from them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your comments on our strategic focus, cohesive teams and the quality of our people. We are only as good as the mix of people that drive our vision, which is why we take great care with our recruitment process and the way we build teams. As for more hierarchy, we accept it works for some organisations. However, we want to promote expertise-based influence (not based on organisational structure) and encourage communication to flow more freely in all directions. Career progression isn't about moving up a hierarchy; success at Stradegi is making yourself more valuable by improving your skills, learning from others, sharing valuable knowledge and championing our values. We're happy you enjoyed your time with us. We wish you all the very best for your future.
