The flip side of this agility is the intense pace and high expectations that come with the territory. While the firm encourages a work-life balance, the demanding nature of the projects can sometimes blur these boundaries. AWR Lloyd’s approach is best suited for self-motivated individuals who are ready to dive into an entrepreneurial atmosphere and navigate the challenges unique to a boutique firm. The promise of rapid career advancement here is real for those who can thrive in a competitive yet...

Getting Hired Here
- “AWR Lloyd is seeking young and entrepreneurial individuals that have a balanced mindset between a strategy consultant and an investment banker.”
- “Being smart, switched-on, and hardworking goes without saying. Beyond the obvious I would say what we need is more 'pirates'. People with a slightly maverick way of thinking. Oddballs perhaps.
People who are relatively independent and resourceful. People who don't need to wait to be told what to do.
People with an enterprising and buccaneering spirit. People who can be decisive, bold and determined when needed.
But also people who are naturally kind. People who have a genuine sense of honor and duty as well as loyalty and respect for those around them. And a real concern for humanity and the planet as a whole.” - “Interview and testing stage involves 3 steps: 1) Quant test, 2) Interview round 1 with Manager, 3) Interview round 2 with Director/Associate Director.”
- “Process includes several interview rounds with different (relevant) people in the firm. Firm is looking for well-connected people with an open mindset and pro-active character, preferably with a network to bring into the firm.”
- “The firm has at least one interview, but is happy to schedule more if the applicant requires to go through their questions in more detail.”
