Current status of Strategy& - five years anniversary

Hi all,

Just saw that Strategy& is celebrating its fifth anniversary, meaning that there are five years since the acquisition of Booz & Company. After reading some old post-acquisition reviews of the firm I thought it would be quite interesting to hear your views on the current status five years down the road. How well is the firm doing in terms of prestige versus its competitors from MBB and T2. Has it managed to regain its old Booz brand recognition? I'm most interested to hear views from US and Europe.

Cheers

I hear that things certainly didnt work our very well. S& people really hate the pwc side and lots of clashing between the two. Tons of partners and more junior consultants consultants jumped ship to other tier 2 shops like AtK and LEK and surprisingly KPMG (since it’s growing Strategy organically and there’s no culture clash). A few went MBB. I hear the deals team is doing well though.
