      Globally Strong but weak in the U.S.

      Senior manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Strong reinvestment in the company (team has grown significantly after going through a lot of post acquisition turnover) which shows that the head office is committed to growth in the U.S. - Decisive leadership (at the group/headquarter level; not really the case in the U.S.) - Decent benefits

      Cons

      - All Partners and senior managers in the U.S. are expats (no local hires at the Partner/Management)...this has a strong impact on corporate culture (or lack there of in the U.S.) - Client base in the U.S. is overly saturated in a few French clients (so no P&L diversity) - Lack of diversity in the team at the Manager and above levels - Financial Services capabilities are oversold to new hires - Little to know accountability for poor performers (especially at the manager and above level)

      Avoid at all costs

      Pros

      Recommend reading all the reviews before you apply, because they are all to the point.

      Cons

      Where do I even start? Pay is way below market. Your total compensation will be several years behind your peers at other consulting firms. Clueless, condescending management. Most of the French leadership has only worked at French companies their entire careers. They have no idea how to coach, mentor, or build relationships. Some even struggle with basic communication skills. Dishonest recruiting and sales tactics. They bait-and-switch junior hires from top schools, sell projects no one in the firm has ever done, then scramble by outsourcing the work to contractors, further eating the bare minimum margins. Limited exit opportunities. Don’t expect this place to set you up for a great next step. If you thrive in a toxic, overly political environment, if you're French, or if all of the above sounds great to you—then go for it. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

      Pros

      none, depressing business location and weird french business culture. People are in-love with mediocrity and operates like a cult around the founder.

      Cons

      Weird bureaucratic french corporate culture, avoid for mental health. Very weird place with weird people.
