Hi,

I have received an offer from Strategy& Dubai office. I want to know if anyone has worked there? Would be great to get some feedback on the culture, diversity, and WLB.

Thanks!

Hi there,

First of all, congratulations on the offer from Strategy&!

I think this is an interesting question that may be relevant for many people. I would be happy to share my thoughts on it:

  • First of all, and contrary to what other coaches have said, given that you have already conducted the interviews and talked to the consulting staff, I think you should have developed a better understanding of Strategy& Dubai office's culture than you could get from any coffee chat.
  • Moreover, in case you missed asking about diversity and work-life balance in the interviews, which seem to be relevant criteria for you, I would highly advise you to reach out to the recruiter right away and request to speak with additional consultants before making a final decision.

If you would like a more detailed discussion on how to address your specific situation, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

Best,

Hagen

Hi there, 

This is a great networking question. 

Use this as an opener to discuss with consultants from Strategy& Dubai and to get their personal perspective. This sort of coffee chat can also help you land a referral.

Hi there,

Please network.

A written Q&A is not going to get you the depth and bredth of understanding that you truly need regarding the culture, etc.

Reach out to people at the office and actually talk to them. The nice thing about an offer is you can now ask the recruiter to put you in touch with people at the office, to perhaps invite you for a tour, etc.

There is so much nuance to every single company/office. Please, get talking to people!

Dear candidate,they seem to be a specific practice, strategy sounds amazing and you can learn so much with just a few days of an office day. Just try out a coupleto see if you like it there.
