Limited time for personal commitments during peak periods.
Development is somewhat dependant on sta๏ฌng, 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.
