Pros

Good salary for the Madrid average, and if you are lucky, you will learn a lot in some proyects in the main spanish banks. The mates are incredible, and there are a lot of great and very smart people in the company. Good salary increases (10-15% each year)

Cons

Management is awful in 90% of the cases. Their only worry is to win money selling projects, no matter how the project is sold and if the final product is something valuable. There is a lack of middle-management people in the company, as they have a lot of junior consultants, and a lot of partners and top-managers. Of course, we are speaking of consultancy, so do not expect exiting before 8 p.m., and 11 is common. Not common, but possible, is to work till 11 p.m. and some weekends.

Pros

-Pays a bit better than competitors (big 4), it is more noticeable after a few years -Has a very good relationship with 2 major financial institutions (often allowing projects sold with an adequate amount of people, early access to some technologies and market knowledge, etc). -Global partnership: the same partner has projects in multiple countries and it is not difficult to travel. -Management has very smart people with good connections in large Spanish companies. -Promotes long-term employment, retaining more employees (proportionally) than competitors.

Cons

-Lack of investment in non-Spanish talent, to expand outside Spain it is fundamental to hire local experienced consultants (not just juniors), it has not done this yet. -Company is too focused in Spain, consultants based in other countries have worse pay (vs. local market) than in Spain, worse benefits and training, poor access to management and less opportunities. -Lack of flexibility in sales push to non-Spanish prospective clients. -Raises/bonus are too similar between top and bottom performers: there should be more differentiation: successful consulting requires promoting fast the best people and firing the worst -The banking sector is 80% of the business

Don't work here!

Pros

Coworkers are young and friendly. Lots of paid time off (22 days) and supervisors are reasonable about letting you come late/leave early for appointments. You don't get in trouble for coming in late.

Cons

Unnecessarily long hours. Incredibly mundane work (every project boils down to copying and pasting in Excel or Powerpoint). This company is a complete waste of time. Nothing finance or statistics related, as advertised. Everyone is miserable.
