Yes - someone does!Pay lags mkt rates as defined in Sep Mgmt Cons by ~10% but as always negotiate on entry...Business Consulting was ~30 employess when I left (made redundant in 2002)Interviews - main hurdle is timed psychometric test, numerical, spatial and verbal reasoning, otherwise normal case study interviews. You will also be asked to demonstrate at least 4 value add areas, e.g. languages, sector experience, specific business capability experience , contacts.Work life balance can be great, but project dependent. I did work in-office on UK public sector projects and worked as far afield as Brazil. Projects range from couple of days to couple of years with a narrow hump around 6 month duration.Culture - great colleagues, interesting environment, good links to other institutions e.g. Cambridge JIMS and School of Manufacturing, LBS, IMD (CH). Good luck with your application.
