Pros

Smart people, interesting projects if you can avoid getting stuck in sourcing or something you don't enjoy. Expense policies help make the travel more bearable.

Cons

Lots of travel. No regional staffing model. Need to keep billing % high means not always having as much input on your project selection as you might prefer.

Pros

Not much to say here

Cons

This year the Vault Survey will not accurately reflect A.T. Kearney. The firm did not distribute the survey link to consultants in the Normal 2 or Slow Progression Tracks. The firm has 5 tracks - Fast Track 1, Fast Track 2, Normal 1, Normal 2 and Slow. While it cannot be proven, this has been determined to be a theme across at least 20 consultants from different offices and position levels. This seems ethically wrong and says volumes about the firm.

Pros

a.t. kearney provides in intellectually challenging work environment. colleagues will consistently test your thought process to ensure you've exhausted all avenues when thinking a problem through. this creates a forum for thought-provoking conversations which, more often than not, leads to provocative ideas and project breakthroughs.

Cons

at the time of my departure, leadership had recently transitioned and was looking to shift the direction of the firm in a major way. though it seems as if they may have righted the ship, the rollout of the new vision was very clunky fraught with misinformation and miscommunication. this caused a lot of confusion within the ranks and an exodus of a lot of good people, as well as unfair treatment of junior consulting staff. a very grueling and exhausting schedule. 3.5 years into it and i was physically and mentally spent mostly due to the long hours and travel. while this is typical of any top tier management consulting firm, it doesn't make it any less difficult. given the sweet spot that a.t. kearney has deep domain knowledge in - operations - the diversity of project work can be limited. if not careful, an individual can be pigeoned holed very early on, making it difficult to gain exposure to different areas.
