Pros

Medical benefits is awesome & Flexi hours

Cons

HR Manager didn't help at all when you raise your problem. Basically HR Manager is not capable of being HR. No work life balance. No learning process. This is not 1st tier consultant company but acted like 1st tier.

Dear former colleague, thank you very much for your feedback, which we take very seriously. It is very important to our HR team (whether your local HR team or our global team in Munich) that you can approach us at any time and raise your concerns. We will then endeavor to work with you to find solutions to your problems. We know that the work-life balance in consulting can be a challenge at times. That's why, in addition to the flexible working arrangements mentioned above, we have launched various initiatives to improve work-life balance, including targeted coaching, sabbaticals, replacement days off, our project commitments and bottom-up assessments. Please rest assured that we will continue to work on this with high priority.

Pros

Starting salary in line with MBB. Good avenue into private equity. Kind and supportive consultants and senior consultants. This creates a positive culture at the office. Small office with 30-40 consultants which makes it cozy and you get to know everyone well.

Cons

Salary trajectory is weak unless fast promotions. Partners say that promotions are faster than competition but this is a lie. Work life balance does not exist l. Project managers work weekends. Business development work finishes after 22. Partners are poor role models in terms of work life balance, typically working to midnight and expecting the same from everyone else.

Dear colleague, thank you very much for your review. Regarding work-life balance, we are aware this can be challenge at times in consulting. However, with the launch of our New Ways of Working initiative and several other initiatives such as replacement days off, project commitments and bottom-up assessments, we consistently keep up with this matter. In our anonymous employee surveys, the development of our New Ways of Working initiative is usually highlighted as particularly positive. In order to understand your individual situation better and find a solution, we would like to encourage you to reach out to your local or global HR team.
