Strategy Consultant Reviews
What is it like working as a Strategy Consultant?
April 2020
Strategy Consultant:
Sexist upper management, frat culture, poor pay, ASOP and 401(k) take 3 YEARS to vest (otherwise you get nothing). Parties are frequent and pretty good in the SF office, poor integration of acquisitions into company. You had better hope your People Manager likes you otherwise be prepared for a miserable experience.
January 2020
Decent - could be better.

February 2019
Reshape the future force.
Strategy Consultant in Washington:

November 2018
Busy life.
Strategy Consultant in Kuala Lumpur:
Pros: Better pay, better work environment
Cons: High cost of living
July 2017
Single most competitive health insurance market in the US.
Strategy Consultant in Pittsburgh:
Pros: Many high paying job opportunities, and for the most part people and companies move relatively quickly.
If you're a single (hetero) man who is looking to focus his career, there is no better place.
Professional Sports are lit and people are very passionate about their sports.
Cons: City is the single most inconvenient city to get around in the US. Roads are confusing and aging infrastructure is a real problem. The downtown area is basically nothing but commuter locale. Some great restaurants but it's slow and expensive.
Rains all the time.
Downtown is exceptionally noisy for the size and # of people. Not uncommon to hear jake-braking and trains into the wee hrs of the night.
Zoning laws are lax. Not unusual to have a "gentleman's" club right next door to a school.
Geography is very hilly and winters are tough to get around.
Mix the lack of amenities with funky geography and terrible weather earns Pittsburgh.
A big cities grade Of a: C-
August 2016
Strategy Consultant:
Pros: Great company visibility and brand recognition, particularly within S&O. Numerous career opportunities if you are willing to put in the effort.
Cons: Long client engagements for my particular role, not the company norm.
