CPCS Senior Consultant Reviews

Pros

CPCS offers an energetic, fast-paced and fun work environment tackling some of the world's most significant infrastructure challenges. At the consultant level, working on project management and analysis, it remains very interesting with a diverse range of work tasks and projects. There are travel opportunities as well. Colleagues are diverse, intelligent and supportive. Top management (two managing partners) offer vision and leadership that is easy to get behind, and moreover feel proud of. The strategic direction of the company is solid, and rapid growth palpable. Very positive corporate culture. Opportunities to own shares in the company will be given to proven employees.

Cons

CPCS has high expectations for its consultants. If you don't fit, or can't adapt to the company's processes or business environment, expect to be shown the door even if you were top of your class. For some, this is daunting, but for others it is motivating. A strong work-life balance is promoted, but in reality overtime and long hours may sometimes be required. However the work is generally fun and interesting.

Pros

- I have the opportunity to work on interesting and impactful assignments - a truly global firm, you can work almost anywhere ! - a lot of great managers - mine has been very supportive and has helped me develop - I have been given a lot of responsibility and ownership over my work
