The familial culture, the interesting projects focused on growth, and a great balance of being in office vs traveling make this the ideal place to spend a career in consulting.

Current Employee - Partner

Cambridge has an "each of us and all of us" culture which encourages collaboration and taking initiative at all levels. It really helps foster the family feel we have within the firm.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Brilliant, eccentric, very friendly and approachable

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

People below director level do not receive an annual bonus as they have no control over the bonus pool. They instead take an average bonus at competing firms and build it into base salary.

Employee - Analyst

TCG is an extremely welcoming place with a very supportive work environment. Mentorship is found at all levels of the firm and people really go out of their way to assist in one another's development

Employee - Analyst

Welcoming, positive, supportive

Employee - Analyst

Base salary for analysts/consultants is much higher than industry standards to account for the lack of bonus--most employees generally prefer this compensation structure because only senior leadership really impacts revenues

Employee - Analyst

The culture at TCG is very welcoming and extremely inclusive. Everyone one genuinely wants one another to succeed and goes out of their way to help and support one another

Employee - Analyst

Our clients love the work we do and are more than proud to vocally support us within their organizations.

Having four consulting offers to choose from out of business school, The Cambridge Group stood out as painting candidates an honest picture of what work is like here. That work focuses on Growth Strategy, which is where my interest lies, and the culture is one where everyone knows everyone else which fosters a collaborative environment.

Open, involved, collaborative. I was surprised by how involved with the work many of the senior leaders are. They truly care about the work that we provide for our clients and they genuinely want our teams to learn and get satisfaction from out work product.

As a business school hire, we receive a very generous signing bonus as well as a tuition reimbursement bonus for those of us who had interned with the firm. In total, those bonuses account for 50% of our annual salary and is paid across a year and a half. Moving forward, I will not receive an annual bonus as a consultant, however, I feel that our above-average base salary makes up for the lack of bonus. At lower levels such as consultant, I prefer the larger salary compared to uncertain bonus.

Because we are small, there are one-off flexibility options. For example, one consultant works remote one week a month. Parents often leave early and then work later at night when their children are asleep. Mornings are very flexible and as long as you're in by 9:30am, there aren't any problems.

I imagine many aspects of the culture are consistent with other firms -- extremely bright people working hard to solve complex problems. One difference may be that the culture is not at all cut throat. We don't have quotas for how many people are or are not promoted each year, so I think that we are all well-positioned to succeed and collaborate with our peers.

As a whole, we're not widely recognized, however, when people are familiar with TCG, they speak very highly of the firm.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

We are a close-knit, collegial group. Our small size allows us to know everyone and value each individual for their unique contributions to the firm.

Employee - Principal/VP/Director

The Cambridge Group is known for expertise in the CPG and retail industries and its unique perspective on understanding demand to find growth opportunities for clients.

Employee - Associate/Consultant

Approachable - senior leaders are not interested in dominating a team's work session but instead offer a very collaborative environment with opportunity for all team members to get involved in the problem solving.
