At OC&C we have a number of initiatives to support women throughout their careers. This starts with our Women’s Network which connects women across grades and tenures, both within and across offices. The Women’s Network works alongside the other Diversity Networks to promote equal opportunities.

The Women’s Initiative aims to provide support and guidance from day one, both through informal mentoring and frequent social events to more formal coaching and quarterly meetings with the full women’s network to share ideas and issues in a collaborative environment.

In addition to this, we also encourage women from all our offices to attend a networking brunch at our annual International Training Week.

“OC&C is the perfect size to give you the breadth of experience whilst remaining a collaborative space where every person is appreciated for their individuality”

"I have joined OC&C twice (!) Once straight from university after doing a Masters in Chemistry at Oxford. The second time, I joined again after 3 years as Strategy, Business Development & International Director at Hobbs."

"The advice I would give to my younger self (and anyone out there really) is to be brave and adventurous. Go for the things that challenge you and for the things that excite you. And have fun doing those!"

"Applying for jobs can be pretty overwhelming, but you don’t necessarily need to get stuck worrying about where you might end up in 10-20 years. If you’re interested in how things work and problem solving from critiquing data to identifying a better way to do thing, then consulting at OC&C is a pretty good place to start!"

"I came in as a fresh-faced graduate, almost straight after getting my BA in PPE at Oxford University. But I did use the signing bonus and the 6 months OC&C let me take before starting to go travelling in South America."

"From a project perspective my favourite moments are always at the start – getting our heads around what the problem or question is, and the end - presenting a clear view of what the client should do next– and having them agree with us (sometimes after convincing)."

"In my second week of training we got to go to Chicago for International Training Week which was pretty cool! It was great meeting so many people from various offices so early on and getting to know other people from my peer group in an outside-the-office context."

"What makes OC&C such an enjoyable place to work is the interesting and engaging people – so during the application process we want to get to you know as a person, not just learn about your academic knowledge and experience!"

"I would tell my younger self that being young or a woman does not lessen your ability. Don’t be scared to step up to the plate, because you are more capable than you think!"

"I came to OC&C in one of our graduate intakes, having studied modern languages at Cambridge University. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do at all, and strategy consulting & OC&C seemed like a good place to start."
