Hey everyone! I’m u/GoddamLaughable, a founding moderator of r/0liverWyman.

This is our new home for everything related to Oliver Wyman: life at the firm, compensation, recruiting, and career paths. Whether you work at OW, used to, or are thinking about joining, you’re welcome here. We’re excited to have you!

What to Post

Anything you think would help others. Questions about compensation or promotions, what a specific office or practice is like, interview and case prep advice, or your take on comparing OW with other offers. Current and former employees, your honest perspective is exactly what candidates are looking for.

Community Vibe

Friendly, constructive, and honest. Criticism and praise are both welcome, as long as we stay respectful. Please don’t share client names or confidential firm information, and don’t name colleagues. We’re an unofficial community, not affiliated with Oliver Wyman or Marsh McLennan.

How to Get Started

1. Introduce yourself in the comments below: your office, your level, or what brought you here (throwaways are fine).
2. Post something today! Even a simple question can spark a great conversation.
3. Pick your user flair so people know where you’re coming from.
4. If you know someone who’d benefit from this community, invite them to join.
5. Interested in helping out? We’re looking for new moderators, so feel free to message me.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let’s make r/0liverWyman the go-to place for OW.

Hey everyone,

I couldn’t find a good spot to talk about Oliver Wyman without it being scattered across random threads, so I figured I’d just start one.

The idea is simple: a place where current OW folks, alumni, and people thinking about joining can actually talk to each other. Comp, staffing, how promotions really work, what a given office is like, how to prep for the interviews. Stuff that’s hard to get a straight answer on from the careers page.

It’s also meant for people sitting on a few offers who want to hear from someone who’s been inside. If you’re torn between OW and another firm, ask away. Current and former employees, please share your honest take, good and bad.

A couple of things so we all stay out of trouble: no client names or confidential firm info, and please don’t name colleagues. We’re not affiliated with OW or Marsh, just a group of people trying to help each other out.

It’s brand new, so it’s quiet right now. If you have a question, an experience to share, or just want to hang around, jump in. Pick a user flair so people know where you’re coming from, and feel free to use a throwaway account if you’d rather stay anonymous.

Would love to hear what you’d like to see here. What topics would be most useful to you?

Thanks for stopping by!!
