CIL Strategy Consultants Reviews

Nothing comes to mind so far

Leadership have explicitly mentioned that they are not top tier (or even second tier) and so will not be matching competitor salaries. Given the long hours (standard for consulting), if there is something else you can do - do it. Limited project breadth primarily focused on CDD and barely, if any, strategy projects. Cookie cutter projects, doing the same sort of thing - no creative problem solving, you are very much put in a box and told to stay within it. Post-project feedback is not consistent and varies from manager-to-manager, doing the same will be under-performing for one manager but could exceed expectations for another manager. You effectively need to find a manager you work well with and have the luck that you only get staffed with them. Culture is not great - very cliquey and not internationally diverse in the London office. A lot of people who leave or are pushed out (very real) end up doing great at other companies - consulting or industry. Brand name is non-existent so exit opportunities are very limited.
