LEK Consulting

I interviewed with them once. They came across as very nice and laid-back, placing a lot of emphasis on fit. However, your case-solving skills are obviously also important. In Europe they have an M&A arm and are often mandated by private equity houses. They said they set great store by the work-life balance of their employees. The work experience also seems to be good, with consultants doing rotations, e.g. guys from Europe can rotate - if they choose to do so - to US offices. I guess if I were not in IB, I would definitely consider LEK as a place to work.

Bump.

Anyone have any other information to share?

Thanks!

They do a lot of work with PE and the life sciences industry. Projects tend to be relatively short, averaging about 4-6 weeks for each, so you'll get plenty of different cases over a short period of time.

does anyone know if LEK Consulting has a summer internship program?

Yes. They do.

I've heard its a total sweatshop. In general shorter projects will kill you, and whoever above said that they do mostly shorter projects are correct. I'm also speculating that the infrastructure isn't as solid as it is for the bigger firms.

Healthcare Practice is top notch. They are for sure a sweatshop. I would assume that they place in PE/HF/VC pretty well.

Think they have a PE practice as well. Anyone care to share any thoughts on that (client base, exit opps, etc)? Thanks!
