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.

Pros

If you’re fresh out of school and don’t have a specific skill and don’t know what to do, and you’re willing to be a yes man then yes it might be a good place to figure out your next step.

Cons

- Lack of pipeline for certain practices (and they will blame that on you saying your utilization is low but there’s nothing you can do at an associate level) - Full of people that feel good about themselves but they actually knows nothing about how actual industry work - No talent - Management will give you vague feedback that you can’t act on, For example, I got asked to “elevate the deck” but when I asked is it the messaging or is it the format etc they can’t give me anything specific - The expectation on work quality is inconsistent - Some manager level people can’t do excel which is shocking - You need to be a people pleaser in order to get promoted
