Business Outlook

Pros

- Leading compensation package - Broad industry coverage - Global network - Partners who are operating at the top of their sector/functional expertise - Values work-life balance

Cons

Although it is rare for mediocre talent to pass the interview process and enter top consultancies, the proportion of subpar consultants at S& is noticeably higher than in MBB.

Being a consultant sucks in general but this is probably one of the better places to do it

Strategy associate

Business Outlook

Pros

PwC (parent company) is actually the best employer. They have so many benefits and truly care about the people that work there. They committed to not laying anyone off during COVID and was able to turn around and still give out bonuses in 2020. There's tons of firm initiatives for diversity and culture improvements and you genuinely feel like the leadership cares. Strategy& can be a little buzzwordy but teams are pretty siloed by their industry specifications, so it's the culture of the team that influences your day to day experience the most.

Cons

Being a consultant is terrible hours... you come in thinking you're young and can handle it but it's easy to get burnt out. Sometimes PwC has a new work life balance initiative but you can't even take part in it since the client demands are such a heavy weight. But if you are trying to become a consultant you're probably aware of that.

Lots of benefits in a first job but actual work not as expected

Associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary, perks of traveling, exit opportunities, smart coworkers - basic consulting pros.

Cons

Everyone is aligned to a particular Industry/Competency - gets you "stuck" if you are in an area you don't want to be in. Ultimately staffing is about your utilization % over your career development (This makes sense financially but can also mean that you never get to do the work you want to do). Many key players (imptex-Booz partners) are leaving the firm. Lack of office culture means that your direct team are the only individuals from the firm you commonly interact with.
