Pros

The best thing about Plural is the people and the unique culture they create. This may sound cliché as many other consultancies tout a great culture, but I genuinely found Plural to be a very special place because of how caring, supportive, friendly and fun the people there were, all the way through the organisation from analyst to CEO. The firm’s small size and high proportion of non-travel work also means that you get to really bond with people in the office, giving a sense of camaraderie that may be harder to come by in other firms. The structure is very flat, and the partners are just as visible, approachable and fun as everyone else in the office. All in all, this creates an enjoyable work environment that I feel would be difficult to find anywhere else. Culture aside, the work at Plural is interesting and top-class. Plural are focused on a few sectors and are very renowned within their focus areas. Because of this, they win projects from some of the largest clients and work on some of the most important M&A deals in their sectors. Despite Plural’s sector focus, you still get to work on and learn about a broad range of industries as the events sector (one of Plural’s focus areas) serves a huge multitude of industries. The firm’s devotion to providing clear and honest advice is exceptional, so it feels like you are really doing what’s best for the client and not just earning money from them. There are also lots of learning opportunities as the firm is filled with extremely bright people. Overall, a very fulfilling place to work.

Cons

The firm is very strong in M&A and commercial due diligence, but other types of projects make up a relatively smaller proportion of work. Although this is changing and the mix of projects is becoming more diverse, if you are mainly looking for other types of projects the frequency of these may be slightly more limited for now.

Pros

Plural Strategy offers a supportive and collaborative company culture where interns feel valued and encouraged to grow professionally. Managers are deeply committed to development, providing consistent feedback and guidance throughout the internship. As a boutique firm, it presents unique opportunities for leadership, allowing interns to take ownership of projects and actively shape their experiences by pursuing areas they’re passionate about. The team-oriented nature of problem-solving fosters a strong sense of collaboration, making it an excellent environment for my first exposure to consulting. Along with this, being a firm based in London, there are potential opportunities for international project exposure and travel if that is of interest. Additionally, I felt I was able to develop develop key skills essential for strategy consulting, including proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint, storyline building, hypothesis-driven problem-solving, and 80/20 desk research.

Cons

As a small office, it’s important to be aware of the limited size and scope, though the culture in the New York office remains strong and supportive. Teams are often also split between New York and London where the firm is based. For those with specific industry interests, like energy or climate, the firm’s exposure in those areas may feel limited.
