In Reply To: Hi all, I have a first interview this week with the London office. The job and company look very interesting, but I am a little concerned by some of the comments on this board. Can anyone give an OBJECTIVE summary of the atmoshpere and working environment at CEB in the UK. I realise it may be very different to DC. Please - none of the silliness and extreme views seen below, which were far from helpful, whether intentional or not. Thanks for your help.
Message: The office has has some very high level departures over the past several months. Several MDs and even the ED of Europe have left over the past year for various reasons -- whether that is just coincidence or symptomatic of a deeper problem is really anyone's guess. London is primarily a sales office, and if you are a good salesman then it may be a good fit for you. Other functions are much less developed and as a result, career opportunities may be severely limited.
