Women's Job Satisfaction (5=very satisfied)
Senior Associate Consultant
January 1970
Great, intelligent colleagues and you will learn a lot but be prepared to deal with the black box that is leadership decision making and beware of the boys club both in leadership and within your team. They may not overtly pull you down but they won't go out of their way to pull you up.

Recommend to Women?
Maybe. Interesting work, great support for work-life balance, excellent benefits, smart people, but feels like an old boys club at the top. Significant lack of mentorship and employee development, men get promoted much faster than women.

Maternity leave is solid, but the expectations once you return are very challenging. This is generally true in consulting but the firm is not attempting to be a pioneer in any way. There are two female partners, but neither of them have school aged kids. Most partners are male, and most of their partners do not work, or work part time. So there is not great understanding of what it means to be a working mother, especially if your spouse also works. It's a small firm, so if you're star, they want to keep you, and you have a strong relationship with senior people, you can win some special consideration and flexibility. But on the flip side there isn't a culture or big corporate infrastructure in place to support you.

Maybe. For a consulting firm, this is not a bad place to be. But you have to think of it in that context, because 60 hour work weeks, 50% travel, unpredictable schedules and occasional weekend work, with moderate/opportunistic consideration for your personal situation is pretty good in consulting.
