Good place for quick advancement, but not great growth in terms of company

Senior Consultant (Former Employee) - Chicago, IL - October 6, 2021

If you just want quick advancement up the ranks, irrelevant of project topics or expertise, this is a great place. However, the organization does not really support participating and learning from different areas.

Pros

Not bad salary, tight team

Cons

Bad management

Third tier firm without a uniform company culture

Consultant (Current Employee) - kuala lumpur - July 3, 2020

I recommend Roland Berger if this is your only offer. If you have any other offer, choose the other option. Boss company without any structure, process, principles. Everything is case by case and wild west like. Having past work experience, I was negatively surprised with what I observed at a south east asia office, especially with new unprofessional management. My colleagues from Germany said things are relatively different there. Do your due diligence well.

Pros

competitive salary, good friendships, some smart people, good lifestyle at partner level

Cons

Weak/ none bonus, terrible life work balance (prepare to catch sleep on the weekends), weak expertise and internal databases, some partners truly sociopath and even insulting, partners are not a coherent group of leaders they talk behind each others back even curse

lacking in integrity

Administration Clerk (Former Employee) - Office - April 7, 2020

great perks like summer events but no progression opportunities nor proper training and lack of integration into the overall office team. Management are too strict and prevent you from taking up opportunities for training overseas

Angenehmer Arbeitgeber

Pädagogischer Mitarbeiter (Former Employee) - Kassel - March 2, 2020

Leider ist der UMA Bereich ein Auslaufmodell. Wenn es an einem bestimmten Standort keine Arbeitsplätze mehr gibt, kann auch der Arbeitgeber nichts ändern. Alles in allem ist dieser Arbeitgeber aber sehr loyal und auch nicht geizig.

Productive working places

Consulting intern (Former Employee) - Beijing - September 25, 2019

I worked on a Public-Private Partnership project to consult an energy firm on its entry into a foreign market. To support the team’s hypothesis, I acquired and consolidated valid information from multiple sources ranging from policy documents to annual reports of listed companies to authoritative industry reports. When we were trying to assess the demand for the industry by region, I helped collect official data and made graphic presentations to visualize the average temperature forecast based on 900,000 pieces of data from more than 800 stations in a country. This served as a very insightful reference for the team to predict the market needs in each province. On a daily basis, I also contributed to create PowerPoint slides to showcase stats and graphs, researched rivals by cold calls to formulate an in-depth market and competitor analysis report and produced expert interview memo as benchmark analysis for client’s reference.
