Pros

A.T. Kearney has set very strong growth targets for itself as a company over the next five years. Beyond just the typical business growth, their targets also include employee engagement, workplace diversity, and workplace flexibility. All of these growth initiatives manifest themselves into opportunities for employees to get unparalleled experiences. Leadership across the globe, regionally and locally goes out of their way to keep employees in tune with the company's performance against the stated goals. Coming from a large, international corporate entity, the level of openness and willingness to discuss big picture topics and nitty gritty details/issues is quite amazing.

Cons

It's still the consulting industry and when they set high targets for themselves, that means they expect to deliver on client engagements. A.T. Kearney competes with the best of the consulting firms out there, which means you still have the same issue of very demanding, long hours away from home. But if you're reading this review, you already know that about the consulting industry.

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
