How employees describe working at West Monroe Partners
Cool to very cool and good
I'm treated well for the most part. My direct boss, a Senior Partner, is a notorious micro manager who makes my life miserable so I'm wondering if it is worth it to stock this out for a partner promotion.
Great company for flexibility and balance of work and home life. Managers and directors support growth and lower team members. Could be a bit faster at rolling out new tech and features, but still very nimble.
Great working environment with flexibility and understanding of personal life issues. Often leadership takes a hit for the rest of the team.
Great people, great company, lots of opportunity and an overall fun job
