Pros

Salary is competitive with the peers

Cons

• Non-existent onboarding process for new Strategy& employees. Totally on the mercy of PwC training staff, who are not even familiar with the Strategy& brand. • There are no strategy projects in the pipeline and the Strategy& partners are literally waiting for their wait time after the acquisition to expire so they can cash out their promised payout. • Legacy employees jumping ship the first opportunity they get due to absolutely no new strategy projects. • Project management work is sold by the PwC partners and the Strategy& partners and staff are on the mercy of PwC partners to get staffed who give them the lowest preference due to project margins. • Project situation and culture is so bad that most of the PwC management consulting staff that opted to join Strategy& are moving back to management consulting. • Booz & Co and PwC merger/acquisition is the text book example of a failed merger.

Pros

Compensation is comparable to MBB at senior consultant level

Cons

You're put into a specific practice since day one and it's difficult to switch. If you end up in the PE practice, say goodbye to your personal life. Many managers are great at putting together analyses, but have zero team management skills
