How you feel about zeb is likely a function of how you feel about the following statement: it is a firm best known for its financial services work in Germany, Austria and the surrounding Central European nations. If that sounds like your desired area of focus—both geographically and from a career perspective, then there is likely no better firm out there for your needs. zeb's client reputation is excellent, which ensures a steady flow of work, and provides plenty of incentive for its existing cast of strong performers to stay around. All of which adds up to a firm that can provide newer consultants with a strong platform on which to learn and build their careers.

Getting Hired Here


  • "Callback process: The three interviewers discuss their views, fill in some forms and rank the candidate. If the candidate reaches a certain threshold of points, he/she gets an offer (min. of 2x "yes" and one neutral vote). The next day the Partner who did the last interview calls the candidate."
  • "Ideal candidate: Young, analytical, good fit to our culture (not arrogant or 'over-competitive'), strategic and entrepreneurial mindset."
  • "HR did an outstanding job planning, calling back and, eventually, onboarding. Effective and smooth."
