Employee Reviews


  • “Brattle is not just any consulting firm. It is an economic consulting firm. It deals with arbitration and competition matters, as well as many projects in the energy sector. This is a niche compared to many other consulting firms. Be sure this is what you want to do. Candidates need to understand that management consulting, strategy consulting, HR consulting, economic consulting, competition consulting are completely different worlds.”

  • “For juniors, get in as fast as you can, there are a lot of learning opportunities, interesting cases. For experienced hires, Brattle offers very little business development and marketing opportunities, but it offers a lot of billable work -and high utilisation demands. If that is your cup of tea Brattle is a great place to join.”
