"West Monroe places a strong emphasis on its people and culture. Many companies will claim this, but WM lives it. From my first interview with the firm, I could tell this was a different company, and have seen great examples of it throughout my tenure here. The Coach assignments are a fantastic program to help new hires and all employees navigate their own career paths. Project managers and teams will go out of their way to make sure people feel comfortable with their roles and assignments."

100 Best Large Workplaces for Millennials

When it comes to supporting employees, flexibility, diversity, and a few extra paid days off go a long way.

West Monroe Partners hasn’t just adapted to flexible work—they’ve created internal programming to support it. The consulting company dubs its philosophy “Working Mindfully,” which it reinforces through newsletters, a video series titled Normalizing Flexibility, Q&amp;A sessions with employees about what’s working for them, and a monthly stipend for hybrid-work–related costs. To help employees ease into their weekends, no one schedules meetings during Friday afternoons. One big move the company made in 2021 to improve equity and inclusion was the hiring of new leaders to oversee these efforts—an inclusion and diversity manager, an employee resource groups manager, and a diversity recruiting manager. Also in the spirit of inclusion, the company has begun listing a college degree as a “preferred” rather than mandatory credential for prospective employees looking to join the ranks.

“The culture here is so uniquely fun: there are constantly social events, happy hours, and fun adventurous things to do around the city that are organized through West Monroe. When I talk to friends who work elsewhere, they are blown away at how many opportunities I have at West Monroe to hang out with coworkers, experience new things, and grow.”

Winning workplaces in Chicagoland earned high marks from employees when it comes to leadership.

GPTW Chicago Large 2022-West Monroe Partners

Employees say: 
 
“We are all employee owners, which gives management a responsibility to everyone to make choices that are best for employees, not just the bottom line. We trust that they will always make the decision that they believe is best for everyone. This creates a sense of camaraderie and a flatness to the organization that other companies like ours don't have. Also, I like their career framework. You don't have a direct manager, they assign you a career advisor, and their key role is to assist you with your career goals.”

"Each and every day West Monroe challenges its employees to 'dare to be great'. From the focus on giving back to the community with weekly events and fundraisers to the ESOP, WMP raises the bar on what I can expect an employer to do and say." 
 
&nbsp; 
 
"It is hard to know where to begin. This company is a people first organization in everything they do. One example: the numerous Chiefs programs (Chief Wine Officer, Chief Health Officer, Chief Adventure Officer, Chief Volunteer Officer), where you can pick anything you are interested in and lead firm events around your passion. The firm also has a mission to develop the next generation of leaders and works hard to provide the best training and coaching to make this happen. The leaders I work for send detailed thank you emails (almost on a monthly basis) recognizing the work and effort I have put forth, which while seems like a small thing, but makes a huge difference in helping me feel appreciated and valued. Best company ever."

"Brewing beer on the weekends with the CEO, having the CEO and my practice lead fly to a different city to attend my father's funeral, getting unlimited paid PTO to take time with my family after the passing of my father... amazing culture from the top down," says one millennial employee. 
 
&nbsp; 
 
According to another millennial worker: "This is a consulting company that gets it. They set real expectations and goals that I agree to and help me steer towards my personal goals to achieve successful career growth. That's unique to what I've experienced in my previous jobs where I just worked and received below minimum raises due to lack of attention to 'real goals.' This company cares about their employees and we are all partners in the organization. Makes me feel proud to work with a prestigious company."
