About Our Work

What are the chances of working in offices outside of my home office?

Monitor employs a global resource pool concept, so most of our consultants will likely work in a variety of office locations during their tenure. However we do urge consultants to stay in their home office for the first 12-18 months to familiarize themselves with the firm culture and professional standards.

What kind of training will I receive while at Monitor?

Monitor offers three levels of training for our consultants - Global, Regional, and Local Office Training Programs. Our global curriculum ensures that all of our consultants benefit from the latest firm findings and methodologies, while our regional and local office training programs are customized based on local office contexts and needs in order to facilitate knowledge transfer and community / network building.
