The culture at Oliver Wyman is not pre-defined by any tradition or set rules as to how things should be done or how one should work. Instead the culture is constantly changing, shaped, and rejuvenated by the people who work at Oliver Wyman At Oliver Wyman, a lot of focus is put on the healthy exchange of ideas, teamwork, and mutual respect. The focus is more on the quality of output rather than quantity and do not encourage the culture of "long hours for long hours' sake."

Like any other consulting firm, the consultants work onsite with the clients for a project's entire lifecycle, from strategy development to implementation. According to the firm, the quality of executing the project and finally the implementation of the downstream change is bound to improve if the consultants work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients. It is imperative that every consultant work with a commitment to excel in the delivery of the project and should have a clear focus to help the clients achieve tangible results.

The internal culture is conducive to consultants devising and leading initiatives no matter at which part of the world they are working.
