Hey everyone,
I'm considering an opportunity at Simon-Kucher's Milan office and I'd really appreciate some candid feedback from anyone with first-hand experience. Glassdoor reviews are mostly US/Germany-focused and I'm struggling to find info specific to the Italian office.
A few things I'd love to hear about:
Hours & WLB: What does a typical week actually look like for a junior/mid-level consultant in Milan? How much travel is involved (domestic vs. international projects)?
Transferable skills: SK is known for pricing, but how narrow is the work in practice? Do you also get exposure to go-to-market strategy, commercial due diligence, or is it 90% pricing analytics? How transferable are the skills once you leave?
Exit opportunities: Where have Milan alumni actually landed? Is the SK brand strong enough in Italy to open doors for corporate strategy / commercial roles, or does it fly under the radar compared to MBB / Big4 Strategy?
Culture & environment: How big is the Milan team? How's the relationship with partners, mentorship-driven or more sink-or-swim? How transparent is the promotion process?
Any insight is appreciated, DMs are open too if you'd rather not share publicly. Thanks!
