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.
