Pluspunten

- In general, very good work life balance when compared to other consulting firms: compensation in form of extra leave time offered for overhours, with management making sure it is implemented. People can decide freely to work remotely or in the office. - Laid back work environment in the Berlin office: I could really feel that regional management cared about the emotional well-being of their colleagues, especially during the Covid Lockdown. There was no formal dress code, and everyone, including more senior, was very approachable

Minpunten

- Limited budget for training programs - Company as a whole is not investing enough in analytics and in-house products - Company lacks a one-firm culture: I had very limited interaction with colleagues from other bureaus, and I could sense a clash in work culture between the European and American offices

Pluspunten

I work directly with excellent people. My immediate colleagues are collaborative, capable, and committed to doing high-quality work for clients.

Minpunten

The biggest challenges tend to come from the corporate side of the organization. Corporate processes and communication can sometimes feel disconnected from the needs of project teams, which creates unnecessary friction. In addition, benefits that were once stronger, including 401(k) matching and medical coverage, have been significantly reduced. A recent example is the increased emphasis on “utilization rates” in merit increases. While utilization is understandable in a consulting environment, tying it too heavily to merit can effectively penalize employees for using earned vacation time and can make PTO feel less like a real benefit.
