Powerhouse consulting firm but with major work-life balance issues

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-White shoe firm -Exposure to senior executives in a range of industries -Steep learning curve

Cons

- Appalling work-life balance when on projects - Difficult to get staffed exclusively in the industry one is most interested in. Typically one is assigned without much regard to one's preferences - Staffing system is inefficient. Currently the firm is suffering from a dearth of projects and far too many consultants are on the proverbial beach

AT Kearney review

Management consulting associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

AT Kearney has a good track record for hiring talented consultants who are generally nice to work with and easy to get along with. This is one of the strongest aspects of the firm, and it tend to have less of an internally competitive culture than a number of other large consultancy firms.

Cons

Management is not adequately appreciative of consulting staff, and senior consulting staff takes a less than active role in the mentorship and development of junior staff members in the consulting practices. Further, the management has tended to be myopic about developing a stronger brand positioning for the firm.
