Cons

Work-life balance is bad, but it is more of industry treat not specific to Booz Difficult to plan your personal life due to the demands of the trade High turnover of colleagues

- Excellent exposure to CxOs - Great quality of work in terms of shaping CxO agenda - Great workplace in terms of the quality of the people - Great compensation packages

Cons

- Work-life balance needs to be addressed by senior management - Compensation not uniform across geographies in the Middle East

Pros

Perfect environment with a lot of consultants mentoring and helping out. Everyone strives for the best quality of work. I was always engaged in other projects and our managers were very helpful in anything we did

Cons

Very long working hours, I mean from 10 am till 2 am non-stop. Contractors get much less in terms of salary and compensation than full-timers although they do somehow the same job.

Pros

- Smart people - Best compensation in industry - Interesting work - Insanely high standards

Cons

- Too Lebanese- and Beirut-centric - Very few role models at senior level - Some seniors are too tight (as they are related). Serious conflicts of interest. Need to break those that want to run this place like a family business

Pros

-Good compensation and benefits (until the PwC merger is complete at least) That is the only thing I can think of to write here, so if this is the only thing that is important to you then this is the place for you

Cons

-Little respect for work-life balance -Senior management does not care about lower level employees -Senior associates and Principals have very little people development or management skills - working in teams can be very difficult as seniors do not know how to manage or develop lower level employees -Very little training curriculum -Competitive work culture - people take themselves way too seriously -Work is not all strategy as they say it is - there is quite a bit of PMO and tactical cost reduction work

Pros

Interesting clients and projects. Smart project team members. Challenging in a good way. Is a great way to set up long term career in terms of compensation and interesting job opportunities.

Cons

Work / life balance is very challenging. As much as seniors want to put programs in place to better this, it remains challenging. The projects are demanding and require more than standard industry hours.

Pros

Brand still has good value if looking to move to industry. Interesting opportunities. Constantly stretched professionally. This is a place where you can make a name for yourself.

Cons

Very little work/life balance, but this is to be expected given our industry. Compensation is too low given other options.

Pros

[Note: Many of these do not apply anymore] - Amazing people to work with - very intelligent and collaborative - Close-knit office culture - Happy hours and practice-sponsored events - Competitive compensation / benefits

Cons

- Tough work-life balance - Hard functional/industry alignment at the junior level - Integration with PwC

Pros

Good, smart, colleagues Challenging work Broad opportunities

Cons

Capacity planning, Compensation, Work life balance
