Pros

- Great exposure early on to operational consulting - Having joined as a Graduate on the Trainee Management Consultant scheme, great opportunity to develop your soft skills in preparation for working with clients and handling difficulties on site - Significant responsibility for delivery as you progress through from Trainee Management Consultant role into client facing roles - Interesting clients, both in the UK and opportunities to travel Internationally - Ability to deliver tangible impact and benefits to clients; with a hands-on delivery method - Supportive management team (and peer network!) - Monthly company updates to provide visibility of projects and business pipeline - Chance to build great relationships with colleagues due to the size of the business (especially through company socials, summer conferences abroad, and an annual winter conference usually in London) - Reading based company, but client base across the UK - meaning as a Consultant you can base yourself anywhere (although not true for Graduate role as initially office based)

Cons

- Not really a con - but it is a hands on consulting role, so there will be site travel through the week and client expectations to meet (no different to any other consulting firm) - Reading based salary - however, this is supported by a monthly car allowance and an annual bonus/commission scheme

Pros

Occasional team socials Small office, close-knit colleagues

Cons

Not a real consultancy (just sales) Outdated, recycled methodology Founder and family are the core problem Nepotistic, uninspiring leadership Practice Directors are lightweight Many projects are dressed-up workforce reductions, not true operational improvement High burnout, no work-life balance Misleading recruitment process Reliance on cold calling after nearly 30 years in business Managementors presents itself as an operational improvement consultancy, but the reality is very different. Most work is sales-driven, with employees spending their time cold calling and chasing leads. That a company nearly 30 years old still relies on cold calling for new clients is a clear sign of weak business development and lack of credibility in the market. Client delivery relies on outdated, rigid methodology that offers little innovation or genuine operational improvement. Many projects are little more than dressed-up workforce reductions, designed to demonstrate a make-believe return on investment rather than delivering real improvements. The founder and his family are at the heart of the problem. The company is family-run, fostering nepotism and unprofessional decision-making. The hierarchy is incapable of inspiring or effectively leading staff. Practice Directors are lightweight, focused on short-term metrics rather than mentoring teams or delivering meaningful client outcomes. This leaves employees demotivated, directionless, and contributes to a culture of high burnout and disengagement. The internal culture is exhausting, with long hours, unrealistic expectations, and trivial office issues sometimes treated more seriously than real work. Career progression is extremely limited unless you are part of the family circle. Recruitment is misleading, presenting roles as consultancy when in practice they are sales-heavy jobs with little learning value.

Pros

Good team to work with

Cons

Top management are only interested in us hitting our targets. Lots of talk about training and welfare but that is only superficial and only a couple of people actually care about that. Family run for the family - everyone else is just subsidising their cars and house in France.
