Toxic environment, struggling firm - Senior Associate Strategy& Employee Review

Pros

Good salary. You can say you worked as a strategy consultant on your resume. That's it.

Cons

Toxic environment, especially in the Consumer, Industrial Products & Services, and Automotive (CIPS) practice. All the negative stereotypes of consulting are true while only a select few are. Attrition from the old Booz guard has left the firm with neither the old talent nor the old brand! Some partners are downright abusive. There is absolutely no flexibility about what projects you can choose. Changing offices or practices is near impossible.

Pros

Compensation is comparable to MBB at senior consultant level

Cons

You're put into a specific practice since day one and it's difficult to switch. If you end up in the PE practice, say goodbye to your personal life. Many managers are great at putting together analyses, but have zero team management skills
