Kearney reviews

- Zero career growth. The only skill that this place teaches you is how to google stuff... even my 10 year old nephew can do that - Pure data extraction and data entry work. It's interesting how people make fancy presentations just before the appraisals (keeping in mind that these presentations might not be having any relevant with the work going on in the firm) - Zero travel. If you think you're going to travel abroad and lead the typical consulting life, think twice and get yourself an asprin. - The HR, office assistants, IT, helpers, etc.... all will ensure to highlight the fact that you're a researcher and not a consultant. You'll always be treated as a second class citizen. They even have different water sources. Consultants get bottled water, and researchers need to refill their bottles from the water coolers... this might sound immaterial.. but this is just an example the extent of differences existing - The way to advance once's career in this unit is by indulging in petty politics and pretending to do great work (in spite of it being from google search's first page) - The recruitment practices have really gone downhill. Recruitments are made from random colleges such as Keshav Mahavidyalaya and Lovely Professional University

It is a show off culture where working until 2am is expected and appreciated. Consultants will hold on to sending emails after midnight to show their Partners that they were working late even though deliverables may have been ready earlier in the day. I understand that there will be projects that will be high burn but you just do not have to make every project very stressful - particularly by having endless reviews of the decks. Most of the Partners and Principals are always frustrated and will take it out on you. Worst is taking out on your right after a workshop when you were working 20 hours a day to prepare. There is absolutely no concept of work life balance. So if you are young, join the firm otherwise don't even think about it. On top of all this firm messed up their bonus structure in 2014 leading to loosing its best consultants to McK, BCG, Accenture and EY.
