Pros

Learn a lot Great colleagues Tax free compensation Brand name Introduction to management consulting Great international ATK network Lots of frequent flier miles and hotel loyalty points

Cons

Excessive travel (4-days/week every week) No work/life balance Limited training Poor management <-- cannot stress this point enough! High turnover (think revolving door) Stress If you are a male you will probably be working/living in Saudi Limited opportunities for some to transition projects - people working on same project for 2+ years! Poor track record of success in the region - Ask around about a certain petrochemical client of theirs STAY AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE - PICK ANOTHER ATK LOCATION - ATK IN DUBAI IS TERRIBLE!

Pros

Among the world's most respected consulting firms, with an extremely varied set of projects at companies from blue chips to start ups or private equity funds. At A.T. Kearney, the range of projects is probably broader than at direct competitors, from pure strategy to more operational topics, and often encompass both, providing a unique perspective to the client and complete learning experience to consultants. A.T. Kearney is also very active on emerging global issues, such as innovation and sustainability. For example, a Kearney consultant was nominated among the top-25 most influential consultants this year thanks to his work on sustainability. Although among top-10 largest strategy consulting firms, there is still a strong entrepreneurial drive within the company and none of the bureaucratic processes and mindset which can develop in larger firms. The quality work environment is often mentioned as a key strength by consultants.

Cons

Some projects, particularly in operations, can be very long (6-9 months), but generally provide a better work-life balance. The entrepreneurial spirit of the firm can make it seem disorganized some time, or as lacking consistency. Some projects can be demanding, as in all strategy consulting firms.
