Just wanted to know more about the culture of the firm, hours, and exit opps.

Former CRA employee here so can give an honest and somewhat informed review. The firm culture is good, Marakon people have always been tight nit and distance themselves a bit from the broader CRA organisation. The work is interesting, they do typically strategy/management consulting with on-site client work (at least they did before COVID). Few industry verticals, but Juniors get a chance to work across all of them. Depending on the office you apply for, exposure will vary. In London it was about 30% Energy, 30% Financial Services, 30% Consumer and 10% Industrials. Hours can be long, we would often see the Marakon guys pull 60-70 hour weeks whilst CRA is more along the lines of 40-50 (except the Competition practice which is an absolute sweatshop). Most Marakon guys I've seen leave have ended up in high-up corporate roles or entry level MM PE roles. Lateralling to T2s or MBB is also possible. Overall I would say it is a very good place to start your career. Marakon is known as a consulting "elite boutique" alongside Kaiser Associates, Mars & Co and Altman Solon.
If you don't mind answering, do you know what the bonus structure I s like? Is it comparable to MBB?
