Pros

Great company culture and social aspects

Cons

- you get forced into roles that have nothing to do with your career ambitions - promotion path isn't concrete and the best way to secure a promotion is to be in with the partners - Focus areas lack disciplines and some are loosely named - currently over 50% of the workforce is on the bench and it has been this way for years now

Wavestone Response

Hello and thank you for sharing this feedback. It is true that a consultant does not "choose" his or her assignments at Wavestone. Staffing decisions combine different criteria: the client's request, the complexity and the stakes of the assignment, the availability of the consultants, their skills, their objectives and progression on the career path. Projects regularly involve cross-topics and cross-teams staffing enabling our consultants to work in different work environments therefore building knowledge, expertise and professional network quickly and easily. This reflects the Wavestone’s consulting silo-free model that is based on the combination of business, technology and functional know-how to better answer its clients’ needs. The career path, The Wavestone Horizon, is a shared tool within the whole firm. For any level of responsibility in a given role, the expected skills are defined and are the same for everyone. Each employee is accompanied by a Career Development Manager (CDM), whose responsibility is to direct them towards projects that will support their professional development on this pace and at their own pace.

Cons

Unfriendly to people who do not fit the (shallow) behaviour model Almost impossible to integrate when already experienced Commercial oriented career for management that hinders innovation beyond 5 sor 6 years
