KPMG vs ZS vs Cornerstone offers

KPMG (strategy tech) in LA vs ZS (decision analytics) in Seattle vs Cornerstone (analyst) in LA

Wondering how the options differ in terms of:

-Brand

-Exit ops

-Culture/growth

-WLB

-Types of work/diversity of work

And anything else that seems important for these decisions


 

Cornerstone wins on brand but you can get pigeonholed

Decision analytics at ZS is a really cool role in terms of the skills you use, I think an exit to something like product analyst, product growth, decision science is well on the cards

KPMG seems like a solid gig, but the other two are a bit sexier

These options are quite different so what you pick is more your speed.

 

I have never heard of Cornerstone having a Seattle office, so if there is one now I'd assume its small. If I had to guess that office would probably do a lot of work with tech (antitrust, IP, product etc) and exits would lean to that.

Like above I've also heard ZS decision science is pretty cool. You can probably get similar exits from ZS and Cornerstone since they are both analytically focused.
