Pros – There exist a good variety of challenging projects to work on and interesting people to work with.

Former Employee – worked at A.T. Kearney full-time for more than a year

Pros – Great exposure to multiple verticals and very collegial culture
Mentoring and people development is executed very well
Leaders of the firm are approachable and projects run transparently greatly enhancing the learning experience

Cons – A lot of strategy work happens but the firm is not well known for it. The firms image continues to be of Supply Chain and Operations
Global Mobility is difficult and unstructured.

Advice to Senior Management – Up or out is not rigorously managed across international offices. There are some bad apples in the Mgr/ Principal levels that can make the junior consultants jump ship.
Global Mobility programs need to be better structured and communicated with international offices.

Current Employee – been working at A.T. Kearney full-time

Pros – A lot of great people who work here that are more than willing to help you to learn and expand your knowledge base to the points that you need for promotion.

Cons – Hours can be very poor in terms of quality of life while on specific projects. Additionally, the year end performance compensations have been quite the let down.

Advice to Senior Management – Need to work on analyst happiness if you want to really keep people around (work life balance on projects and understaffing)

Current Employee – been working at A.T. Kearney full-time for more than a year

Pros – Global firm, big clients although consulting engagements are primarily related to sourcing and rarely to strategy

Cons – Poor management, low work quality, highly political even at lower levels of organization, deteriorating brand value

Advice to Senior Management – Learn to retain people who can be true leaders, without trying to make organization too political at the lower levels

Former Employee – worked at A.T. Kearney full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – High energy and youthful environment, strong focus on professional development and engaged senior staff. The projects tend to run long but you are typically only staffed on one at a time - versus the 2-3 that you see with other firms.

Cons – Team leadership can be mixed. Some managers are rockstars and others are pretty lackluster. Work/life balance is typical of a management consulting firm: they spend lots of time talking about part-time, balanced workloads, etc., but at the end of the day, expect to work long into the evenings and at least one afternoon of the weekend.
