Pros

A.T.Kearney is fast growing and has the perfect size to offer consultants a large variety and number of projects but at the same time allows them to build their personal brand and pursue their own career path. The Firm implemented measures to better balance work-life while on a project as well as flex work models (e.g. parental leave, LOA) if you are at a point where you want to focus more on "life", pursue an entrepreneurial path etc.

Cons

As for any consulting job (especially in the US), expect to travel Mon-Thur for most projects.

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
