DO NOT start your consulting career here
Pros: - Work life balance compared to other strategy consultancies
- Offices centrally located
- Important clients
Cons: - Driven and smart people are penalysed and told to lower their quality of work to comply to the firm lower standards
- Most of the projects are PMOs - very little strategy - the people attracted to the firm are therefore not of high intellectual caliber
- Pay is an absolute joke - NEGOTIATE like there was no tomorrow when they make you a first offer, you can go as high as x1.5 the initial offer
- Emiratis get paid double and have incredible benefits - absolutely not fair to expat who are 99% of the time more qualified
- The business is divided in sylos, no cooperation globally and not even locally, not allowed to share a presentation for someone working in the same firm sitting in front of you because the revenue is not shared... a true joke knowing that consulting is an information & people business and not a PROCESS one (unlike what the management thinks).
- Really, there are just so many cons that it's too long to list., do not start your career here!!!!
