A world class strategy consulting firm

Global reach

  • Strategy& is supported by the strength and scale of the PwC network, uniquely providing opportunities to drive impact at scale for our clients. Our global portfolio of clients means we often need to draw on our deep region-specific expertise to solve cross-border issues. Our team’s international backgrounds are important in providing nuanced understanding and tailored solutions that respect the cultural and business norms of each region we operate in. It’s the close collaboration with our extensive worldwide network that allows us to develop strategies at a global level, as well as provide local insights – both of which are incredibly valuable to our clients.
  • Our global network also provides endless opportunities for our people, whether that may be through travelling to visit global clients, seconding to another office, or collaborating with a team based in another country.

  • On joining, you'll begin your journey with us on a fast-paced learning curve. Our flat structure means that all team members are expected to fully contribute, and that your opinion will count, from your very first day. You’ll have the opportunity to progress quickly, and within your first few years with us you’ll gain confidence, experience and skills you’ll value throughout your entire career.

  • Promotions are based on merit, allowing high performing individuals to progress quickly. Your career or talent coach will put your case forward for promotion when they believe you are ready, based on the feedback provided from those you’ve worked with.

  • When you join the firm as a graduate, you’ll receive at least three weeks of comprehensive Strategy&-dedicated training that’ll help you develop key strategy consulting skills. You’ll join a cohort of other graduates, as part of your training at an offsite location - this enables you to get to know your peers and the wider team and build relationships from the start. Training is delivered both by external professionals and other team members and consultants.
  • When joining as an experienced consultant, you’ll receive tailored training depending on your abilities and expertise, but will often join as part of a cohort with other experienced professionals.
  • There are also a variety of ways for you to continue your formal training while at the firm, including through training modules with MBA schools, optional upskilling courses, additional training days, and subscriptions to online resources.
  • Aside from the structured training programmes, you’ll refine and develop your strategy consulting toolkit by getting stuck in and learning on the job.
  • From the start, you’ll be paired with a senior career or talent coach and a peer who’ll be your ‘buddy’. Their role is invaluable, as they help you get to know our team and put you onto the right projects to set you off on your professional development journey. They’ll share their wisdom and unique perspective, acting as first points of contact and providing first-hand advice on anything and everything.

We pride ourselves on cultivating a diverse, equitable and inclusive work environment to empower our consultants to be the best they can be.  Our team members hail from a wide array of countries, providing a wealth of perspectives that is critical to our success.

We actively look to promote diversity through our recruitment efforts, for example by running the ‘Strategy& Women in Consulting’ and ‘Black Talent’ events and pathways.

Within the team, we also have a large number of Strategy& D&I networks (including Strategy& Pride, Women's Network, Wellbeing Team, South Asian Network and many more) and a dedicated Inclusion team consisting of our own consultants to support leadership decisions and make sure that we are the most inclusive workplace we can be across the board (e.g. staffing, socials, promotions, etc.). Learn more about some of the diversity initiatives and networks by reading Ben’s blog post.

We thrive in our collaborative culture, working closely with each other and our clients. Working in small teams means we get to know each other well, creating an environment where you can build lifelong relationships with inspiring people. This culture also sustains our relatively flat structure and encourages all team members to engage in conversation and be heard. It is not at all uncommon for you to have a quick chat with a senior partner while grabbing a coffee in the office.

Receiving ongoing ‘in the moment’ feedback is part of our culture. This is complemented by our formal appraisal process, which is based on feedback from people across all grades who are familiar with your work

  • You’ll have plenty of opportunities to gain international experience through global projects or secondments to our offices worldwide. We’ve recently sent consultants to New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Hong Kong, Madrid, Melbourne, and Dubai on secondments typically ranging from six months to two years.
  • Secondment opportunities are not limited to our worldwide offices, you could also second to a client, or another team within Strategy& or the wider PwC network, or pursue a sponsored MBA.
  • Our sports teams, charitable initiatives and various team events including project dinners, away days, team lunches, and weekly after-work socials mean that you’ll get plenty of opportunities to grow your network in an environment that is ambitious and stimulating, and also supportive and fun.
  • You may also wish to become involved in, and help shape some key team functions such as recruitment, diversity networks, our alumni network, the Learning & Development team, the Strategy& network across offices, and many more.
