Thoughts on Roland Berger - Pro. vs. Cons

Hi all,

Curious to hear the community's thoughts on Roland Berger in General and their Dubai office more specifically. I am currently in the recruitment process and would be great to have some pointers on factors to consider, the company's focus, growth, reputation, progression, opportunities, etc..

 

Thanks

Hi there,

If you can specify what matters to you (prestige, culture, work-life balance, etc.) and what you're comparing RB to (other consulting firms, other careers, etc.), then we can better answer this question!

Pros and Cons are relative :)

Hey there,

I think the best data points can be found on Glassdoor for such questions.

From my outside-in personal experience of interviewing with them and experience from peers and friends who worked there the main points are:

  • A bit unprofessional (my interview was rescheduled several times one day before the date)
  • A bit of a tougher and harsher culture compared to other consulting firms (Christmas party where Partners were called onto the stage based on the revenue they generated for the company...)
  • Take-over and struggling rumors since years since

Take it with a grain of salt and try to speak to current or former RB consultants.

Cheers,

Florian
