Marakon salary estimate

(Bump) I'd be interested to hear about this too

Anyone?

I never heard of this firm before. For what is worth, it is ranked in the Top 50 consulting firms in Vault ranking: http://www.vault.com/company-profiles/management-strategy/marakon/compa…

Thanks for that. Anyone else? Could really use some opinions on the firm?

I interviewed with them in NYC. Strong strategy practice (literally nothing else), really small, but pretty far below MBB or what it used to be pre-acquisition by CRA. A lot of their top partners got poached in the move.

As far as I could tell from my conversations about locations, it's not strong in London. I'd consider other offers before taking Marakon in London.

It's simply Marakon Associates (which is now the advisory arm of Trinsum Group).

Very small (200+ consultants worldwide) so firm culture and fit is heavily emphasized. Hours generally hover around 60 and manager bonus compensation is actually directly tied with the work/life balance, so it is taken into consideration. They also follow a Tuesday-Thursday travel model, so you won't be flying out on a Sunday red-eye or anything.

Compensation, from what I hear, is quite competitive. Can't comment on exit opps.

Thanks. Any info on their UGrad recruitment?? Do they tend to stick to a select group of schools?

As far as I know, they generally stick to a few target schools. UPenn and Northwestern are their prime recruiting grounds, though I'm sure they recruit from a few other schools. However, given their small size, it is likely very very difficult to come on board from undergrad unless you're a student at one of those two schools.

For those interested...

Apparently Marakon (now Trinsum after their merger with IFL) is going through a bit of a rough transition period right now as a result of their ongoing integration process. Layoffs have occurred, as well as voluntary departures.

Are you at Northwestern? I had heard they really scaled back their recruiting to focus there.

Definitely not as prestigious or do the same quality of work as legacy Marakon. A lot of the partners left when Trinsum fell through. Not sure how they're doing at CRA, but that acquisition just didn't make sense. That being said, exit ops to school would be good. Not sure about industry.

I'm in the UK. I did get the sense from their promotional material that US recruitment was almost all Northwestern.

The company seems pretty appealing in terms of culture and work life balance but that's too bad about the partners leaving. I'll take the interview obviously, but I'll keep that in mind.
