Pretending to be something it's not - Senior Associate GEP Employee Review

Good exposure, good work life balance

None at all , great place to work

Inclusive, supportive culture: GEP genuinely fosters an inclusive and diverse environment. As a trans individual, I feel fully supported, comfortable being out at work, and consistently gendered correctly by colleagues and leadership. Strong sense of community: The people are what make GEP special. There is a real sense of belonging and mutual respect that is rare in consulting. Exposure to complex, global work: Opportunities to work with global teams and large, sophisticated clients accelerate professional growth. Learning and development: You gain broad consulting experience across industries, categories, and geographies, which builds strong foundational skills. Mission-driven colleagues: Many people at GEP care deeply about their work, their teams, and doing the right thing for clients.

Fast-paced, high expectations: Like most consulting firms, the workload can be intense, with periods of long hours and tight deadlines. Career progression can vary: Growth opportunities and pacing may depend on project mix, leadership support, and timing. Process maturity: Some internal processes and tools are still evolving, which can occasionally create inefficiencies. Work-life balance can fluctuate: Balance is highly project-dependent and may be challenging during peak delivery periods.
