Pros

Good Consulting company with great operations capibilities. I belive ATK is # 6 or something like that. If you want to learn top notch skills in supply chain, process eningeering, or sourcing then this is a good company for you.

Cons

Not as broad as some of the larger consulting companies. Consulting companies are laying a lot of people off right now. A T K used to be a subsidiary of EDS. During the management buyout, they had to lay a lot of people off. In addition a lot of partners left. I heard that partner attrition was continuing for some time after I left

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.

Pros

People - not too many "typical" MBAs who think they know everything. The people i've worked with are generally open minded enough that the work produced is of great quality and produces results.

Cons

Diversity of type of work available. Specifically in the US, it is a very operations and supply chain focused firm. Globally, there is a very diverse array of projects, but global mobility on a project basis is limited.
