Vault Verdict
After being acquired by MGT Consulting, a larger firm, in 2024, change is on the horizon for Cicero Consulting, but it’s a change that insiders are looking forward to.

Employee Reviews
- “It is a great combination of structured consulting work and clients with a combination of entrepreneurship and independence. Having been at a large, top-tier consulting firm, I love the smaller firm and its opportunities for growth, personal development, and challenging client projects.”
- “Cicero has the unique ability of being small and large at the same time. We get the opportunity to grow through our deep interactions and relationships within the firm, while also being able to get the benefits of a larger consulting firm.”
- “The people at Cicero truly make this place. As such, all of us are invested in each other and like to ensure we develop our consultants to become a whole person.”
- “Everyone always makes an effort to put a smile on their face and has a positive attitude toward the job. I've really appreciated this and feel that the culture has rubbed off on me. I feel confident that the firm is constantly striving to listen to its employees.”
Getting Hired Here
- “The hiring process starts with a resume screening. Then comes a first, HireVue-style interview. Your next interview is a case study exercise administered by an analyst, and it’s quickly followed by a behavioral interview to assess your cultural fit. The third and final interview requires you to spend an hour preparing a presentation based on a real project, then spend another hour presenting to a partner.”
- “The interview cadence is fairly quick, with each round being scheduled within one to two weeks of each other. The recruiting team was communicative and responsive. The ideal candidate is someone who has a passion for learning, a great work ethic, and an inquisitive mind.”
- “Cicero is seeking hard-working, detail-oriented individuals. They are looking for data-driven problem solvers who can offer solutions and think critically to impact the work for our clients.”
- “I believe that our firm’s ideal candidate possesses great analytical skills, the ability to ask the right questions, and a lot of grit. They should be able to perform well under pressure.”
