Career Paths
Oliver Wyman is committed to nurturing and developing staff early in their careers. In both of our primary career tracks, many of our staff who joined us from University were promoted through the ranks to become Partners. We are unique in that we do not require an advanced degree for promotion into the Partnership. We think that you can learn just as much, if not more, on the job as you might in the classroom. We avoid the constraints that, in many firms, limit the pace at which an able individual can assume responsibility.
We allow our consultants as much responsibility as they can handle and provide ongoing training to accelerate their development. We emphasize a 6-9 year Partner path, not a two-year analyst program.
Career Flexibility
We recognize that by supporting the professional and personal goals and interests of our people, the entire organization benefits. Your life is not all about your work at Oliver Wyman. We offer innovative alternatives for work and life beyond the firm which include sabbaticals, externships, non-profit fellowships or part-time programs.
International Staffing
With over 40 offices worldwide, we have global opportunities available and look to staff the best people on the assignments, no matter where the client is located. Whether you’re working domestically or abroad, your exposure to different markets and cultures will be constant and in-depth. From Beijing to London, from New York to Paris, from Toronto to Dubai, Oliver Wyman provides invaluable exposure and access to an exciting and challenging business world. And because our work relies on a thorough knowledge of the markets where our clients operate, we believe that the best way to gain that understanding is to see and experience it for ourselves.
“So far, every project has taken me to a different country, and since joining I have spent a lot of time in “Australasia”. I love the places I am sent to, the new cultures I meet and all the new experiences I have. Because I enjoy faraway places so much, I was truly excited when the firm approved my transfer from the Frankfurt office to the Singapore office.
Very early in my career, I have found credit risk to be an exciting topic and have been able to specialize very quickly. The firm keeps surprising me with the growth opportunities it provides – I found myself leading a client team within less than one year after I joined and I had my first presentation to a banking CEO only half a year later.
My favourite project was a five week engagement in Australia where we reviewed the way the bank sets aside money for bad loans. The client team was lovely, the work was exciting, and the weekends were among the best of my life: I met Aborigines at Ayer’s rock, dived the Great Barrier Reef and climbed Sydney Harbour bridge.”
