Why Strategy&?

After having you presented Strategy& in detail, One of the most prestigious strategy consulting firms from Europe, we thought it might be useful to present our Top 3 arguments to use to make PWC's strategy program your next career step

Reason 1: an international, caring and friendly working environment

It may seem surprising to start our article with this reason. As it turns out, the Strategy& work environment is often the subject of excellent feedback from our alumni and consultants who have been fortunate enough to work there. Because of its human dimension, the Paris office offers an international, motivating and warm working environment. Several events and rituals help maintain this warm atmosphere:

• Home Office Day, during which office employees meet once a month to share office results, current missions and other news (arrivals, promotions, events)
• Several cohesion events such as the ski and relaxation weekend, cooking classes, Christmas evening
• The Soccer Cup which brings together 400 strategy colleagues from different countries every year for a mix of football and celebrations of all kinds

This international working environment is reflected in the significant number of consultants of foreign nationality: United States, Middle East, Latin America, Asia. This diversity makes working in this firm a very enriching experience from an intellectual and human point of view. This international side is also reflected in the international presence of Strategy&. This is an argument that attracts hundreds of consultants every year. As a consultant within the firm, you will be able to benefit from a facilitated mobility in the offices you are interested in.

Finally, the benevolence of the firm should be analyzed in parallel with the good exposure of juniors to partners, with 1 partner for 10 consultants on average in the Paris office.

With more than 3,000 consultants in 60 international offices, including 150 in the Paris office (to which the Casablanca office is attached).
