Pros
Everybody is quitting so I’m guessing you’re getting more responsibilities and casework from the smaller office size?
Cons
Absolutely one of the worst economic consulting companies out there. Pay is well below industry standard, turnover is super high, and the morale in the entire office is very low. Everybody is thinking about leaving the firm and has been secretly looking for jobs. Half of the consultants in the office left in the past 6 months. Someone left after 6 months of joining the company. Bonus is very little. Hours are very long and brutal. Management doesn’t care about your work/life balance. You’ll have to keep coming in on the weekends and they will tell you literally to cancel all your personal plans. No life outside work. In addition, case work is very limited in scope. You’re not learning or getting as much interesting cases as working in other Econ consulting firms. Edgeworth is only doing Antitrust and IP cases, which is very boring. Work can get very repetitive and dry. You’re working with the same partner for every case. They also play favorite by arbitrarily forcing some made-up office rules on some consultants and everybody is seriously thinking about escaping the office. You can’t point out senior management’s mistakes. Otherwise they will stab you in the back. They all think they have PhDs and are way smarter than you. HRs are very arrogant and irresponsible. Very inexperienced and can’t do payroll, relocation, and other basic operations properly. They are super aggressive towards people. AVOID this company at all cost!
