Peruse comments from some of our advisors to get their take on working at FW Cook.

I was practicing law at an international firm in the executive compensation department. Many of my clients at the time also retained FW Cook, so I had the pleasure of working with their consultants on shared compensation matters. Based on these interactions, I knew FW Cook was the place I wanted to be.

“FW Cook is professional and collegial, yet it also feels like home. FW Cook consultants are the top specialists in their field. Everyone is respectful of his or her colleagues and mindful of the loyalty and care we owe to our clients.”

I enjoy helping clients work through key business issues and challenges, where the creative solutions ultimately allow them to maintain successful enterprises. I also appreciate filling a niche, where the client's needs can be extremely technical in scope and at the same time have a profound business and corporate impact. We help clients navigate these questions while maintaining their business objectives.

I enjoy the exceptional opportunities for growth and career development. Senior consultants are very supportive of younger teammates in providing direct feedback and opportunities for growth in client engagements.

“FW Cook has a meritocratic culture. Consultants who demonstrate excellence can expect to be continually challenged and are well respected within the firm, regardless of age, experience level or any other factor.”

Compared to friends of mine who are also in the consulting industry, I feel that I've enjoyed a unique set of experiences at FW Cook. Not only have I had the opportunity to develop my own career at a rapid pace, but I've also been in a position to see the big picture on all of my client engagements.
