Frederic w. cook and co

I am beginning an interview process for a consultant role at Frederic W. Cook & Co. I have looked around on the internet and not found much else other than their website. Can anybody give me some information on them regarding, prestige, exit opportunities, MBA placement, and compensation?

Thanks

I've seen their name come up a few times in the past. The firm has a very specific niche, in that it helps corporations determine compensation rates and structure for senior executives and board members. That being said, its far too narrow of a consulting focus to warrant "exit opportunities." I'm sure they're a solid firm, but if your goal is top MBA placement, you should look elsewhere. Consider Financial Analyst positions at F500 companies before FWC.

 

I also have an offer with JP Morgan as an operations analyst, but i dont think I need to ask your opinions on that as it seems most of this forum recommends staying away from operations.
