    Good first job, but not for the long run...

    Pros

    Work life balance is taken care of. Nice first job, with good exposure to clients and opportunity to learn lots of reusable skills like excel, ppt and SQL / Alteryx / Tableau. If you join the right team at the right time, career progression can be fast. Group of extremely nice, caring and helpful people. Everyone is really smart so you might feel stupid right after joining. Base salary is good compared to other consultancies. McK network and repo is really valuable.

    Cons

    Extremely volatile evaluation system might hamper development. Not necessarily meritocratic career progression. Leadership is not really inspiring. Too many people stick around longer than they should due to poor exit opps to the damage of new, more motivated employees. Can become extremely boring and repetitive if you can’t have exposure to multiple projects.

    Associate Analyst - underpaid in rigid culture

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - possibility to advance fast - generally modest travel required - relatively small team thus not just a small part in a big clock - now part of McK thus prestige of company - thorough training in calculation programs

    Cons

    - for the amount to work substantially underpaid - Extremely rigid culture (e.g. if you would arrive a few minutes late to work you would get a warning. BUT people have life outside especially when working long hours. Allow reasonable flex time) no feeling of a team - bad work life balance - VERY bad benefits - No mistake culture, any mistakes seems to be punished. No desire to innovate or take risks - arms length relationship with management (transactional, you perform then you get rewarded financially, yet not other form of recognition) - The employees is held to thankful to be able to start working at the company. No feeling of that employee has outside market valeu - Purpose of work, engagement of employees, thinking outside of the box not valued to the slightest

    Pros
