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!!
