Entry-level in Financial Services | New York, NY | 2016 | VERIFIED EMPLOYEE
Culture, challenging work, exit opportunities
Hours can be bad at times
Cornerstone is an excellent career choice for an academically-inclined candidate. My coworkers are exceptionally intelligent and go on to/have graduated from top PhD and MBA programs, or go on to top data analytics roles or JD programs. It is a challenging, rewarding environment at a firm that is unique within its field.

Executive in Economic | San Francisco, CA | 2016 | VERIFIED EMPLOYEE
The ability to work with very smart colleagues and experts who are also extremely nice people.
The job can be demanding at times.
I would highly encourage anyone to apply as I would not really consider moving to a competing consulting firm.

My coworkers are great, and the work is intellectually challenging.
Volatile hours
It's really one of the best places to work out of college. You get to develop your skills in working in a team and with large datasets.

Culture, incredibly smart colleagues, in-depth nature of the work
The culture; challenging and interesting work
Sometimes the hours
Economic consulting is a bit of a niche industry, but the skills that you'd learn at Cornerstone go far beyond that industry. Cornerstone exposes analysts to a wide variety of industries and topics, which is both interesting and informative. Additionally, the excel, SAS, and other coding skills are very useful in other positions. Further, the expert and client interaction helps you gain experience working with clients in different fields, and the management skills gained from managing small teams of less experienced analysts to whole case teams is also extremely valuable.
