Reviews
Responsible for excel modelling and research, taking hypothesis driven approach to problem solving
Strong level of ownership of business development work i.e. Creating and leading the development of packs, analysis and insights. during projects, we are given direct responsibility to drive analysis and critical thinking.
My role is a generalist, meaning that i get to work across a number of different industries (e.g., private capital, aviation, telco, energy & resources etc.). The key tasks i do each day revolve around research, any quantitative analysis (excel) and creating slides. Projects can be anywhere from 2-3 weeks in length to 3-4 months.

Cons

Limited time for personal commitments during peak periods.
Development is somewhat dependant on staffing, 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.
