      A place to learn, develop and grow - like most things in life though, there are trade-offs

      Pros

      A great place to learn and grow on fast exciting challenging projects Some realty great team members / strong team culture in the lower ranks

      Cons

      Work life balance is only spoken off, it is not taken seriously. When times get very busy (which is pretty much all the time) it is always explained as "strategic", I challenge any firm where 100% of what they do is strategic - on average you can expect to work between 70 - 80 hours per week which is simply unsustainable. Personal aspects will suffer such as friends and family Poor leadership behaviour is swept under the mat when looking at winning work and sales which is sadly a short term view

      Lack of inspiring leaders, don't stay for more than a few years

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - OK place to start a career: it's a decent brand in Australia (although there are increasingly competitive roles now, such as PE, and even top global MBAs that will mainly value a truly tier-1 consulting company, e.g. MBB and not AT Kearney) - Great feeder to corporate strategy teams in Coles and SEEK, if that is your career aspiration in life - Young and humble workforce makes the brutal work conditions more bearable ("work hard play hard" right?) - maybe we aren't as stuck up as the MBB kids but there is a downside to this... see below in Cons about the insecure overachiever point

      Cons

      - No one in the company is someone I would look up to as a great leader in the business world - You will be surrounded by 'insecure overachievers', who are extremely risk-averse and the ones who stay have convinced themselves that consulting is their only choice -- stay here for too long and you'll start to think the same. It's true for all of consulting but especially true for those from AT Kearney, who have already accepted a position here instead of MBB, and so you are not surrounded by people who will really challenge you to strive for bigger and better things in life (just promotions)

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Growth, learning, variety of work

      Cons

      Lower brand recognition in Australia means you get worked harder and held to higher standard than an MBB team would doing the same work / than a Kearney team in Europe or the US
