Vantaggi
The strategy work is challenging, fulfilling and intellectually stimulating. Even the proposals are really interesting.
Svantaggi
The firm doesn't seem to be doing well. There were stretches during my first year where I saw a lot of people on unstaffed and not working on client billable work. As a result, saw many of my peers laid off after less than a year at the firm. Some of them had great reviews, but low billability and utilization rates caused them to get the ax. There also didn't seem to be a counseling out process that exists at all other top tier firms. So when you are laid off, you are abruptly shown the door. The experiences at Strategy& are like a tale of two firms. There are some really great projects and people, but the unsteady pipeline and the lack of a counsel out process are terrible for recent MBA grads. So I do not recommend this firm if you have other options.
