Pros

- Generally kind and intelligent co-workers - Opportunities for feedback and 1:1 mentorship - Benefits are more generous than some other firms - Communication around work-life balance is generally open and thoughtful

Cons

- Lack of diversity is clear and shows up in culture; diversity of thought is seen as in direct opposition to certain pillars of culture - Inconsistent and/or a lack of opportunities for work - Personality-fit is valued too highly compared to producing quality work during formal and informal reviews; simultaneously, valued personality traits are not recognized openly by leadership and are not presented as skills that can or should be trained formally

Thank you for sharing your experience, particularly as we have less feedback from Toronto Nousers. We prioritize high quality client work, meaning quality of thinking, communication and client interaction is important, alongside cultural/behavioral alignment. We hire great people, (kind and intelligent is a wonderful mix) to bring diversity of perspective, background and skills to our consulting work.

Always tough to read a harsh review. As the CPO I take responsibility for the vision, style and approach of the people team. I would hope that we are not stuck in the middle ages, but rather are open minded and progressive. I apologise if our approach to EDI is embarrassing as we pay attention to it and it is important to us. We get positive feedback from Nousers on our inclusive culture and the continued improvement around this important aspect of work and society, while recognising that we can always be better and that the world doesn't sit still so we must be open to ongoing improvement and change. We will keep working at it.

Thank you for your review. Our value proposition is interesting work that delivers positive influence, working alongside great people where you can learn quickly and have fun. Our market positioning for remuneration is more aligned with the Big 4 than the MBB (McKinsey, Boston, Bain).
