The key tasks i do each day revolve around research, any quantitative analysis (excel) and creating slides. Projects can be anywhere from 2-3 weeks in length to 3-4 months.

Cons

    • The hours can definitely be long, but the firm is investing more and more effort into improving Work-Life Balance outcomes.

    • Limited time for personal commitments during peak periods.

    • Development is somewhat dependant on sta๏ฌƒng, you must reach out actively to ensure your career develop in a way that you intended (i.e., express interest in certain industries). This is quite common for consulting companies. Training is not too structured, you may develop skill sets in one area and not in another.

    • Although characteristic of the industry as a whole, hours can be long and deadlines short. Nevertheless, Oliver Wyman has numerous layers of support to mitigate burnout during and after intense projects.

    • Hours - as with most consulting jobs, the hours can be long at times.
