West Monroe

"WMP is truly unique in that it has a supportive, positive culture. However, the "AND" culture here can also be pervasive. Doing well on client work is not enough - it feels like a competition of who does the most internal Practice Development work... often times, this PD work itself isn't even meaningful and is a favor to someone. As a result, WMP strays from being a true meritocracy. Very many average performers and the PD/hours ends up falling on others. This becomes more pronounced and worse as you become more senior. With that said, I greatly appreciate the many mentors and leaders here. For the most part, they are always open to talk and help guide you. This isn't something you can easily find in the consulting culture. "

"good place to work. Management is willing to work with you."

"West Monroe is a great place to work. Like many firms in the consulting industry, the firm struggles to hire, promote, or keep women in leadership roles, but there is conscious and meaningful effort in place to improve moving forward."

"As is common in the consulting industry, there are plenty of women at the bottom (consultant- manager level), but the ranks thin as you go higher towards leadership levels. The spirit of diversity and promoting women to leadership positions is definitely there, but the nature of the industry is prohibitive."

"It's a place where your work and time will be valued."

"From day one of working here, I have felt very supported!"

"I am constantly in awe of the women I work with. I'm lucky to be surrounded by very strong, supportive, intelligent women mentors and peers!"

"Working closely with leadership, I KNOW that work-life balance, parental leave, and flexible time off policies are important to them. It may not happen overnight and a lot of visibility has yet to be seen since it's still in the planning stages, but West Monroe Partners truly has its employees interests at heart. "

"Get involved! This is a very open company that is built on creating future leaders. We all have a chance to speak up."

"There are lots of great opportunities for events, speakers, networking and conversation to have regarding gender, inclusion, and diversity at WMP. "

"In a traditionally male-dominant industry, West Monroe not only sets goals to provide a great place to work for all employees, but really puts these goals into action. As a young female professional, I feel lucky to be surrounded by inspiring, powerful female professionals in a fast-paced, vibrant company. I feel supported by each of my colleagues, and have never felt I was at a disadvantage due to my gender. "
