OW vs Kearney vs L.E.K. vs ZS - outlook / positioning in mainland Europe

Hello -- would like to ask for some insights here regarding the mainland EU geography only:

how would you assess the above firms (OW, Kearney, LEK, ZS) in the following areas?

1) MBB lateral potential

2) prestige / name recognition among employers for exit opportunities; M7 MBA admissions committees 

3) exit opportunities

4) growth

5) overall positioning / health of the firm

6) types of projects

7) overall quality of the experience / what you would choose

8) global opportunities

9) anything else to know?

TIA! Pls try to differentiate between Eastern / Western Europe, if possible :)
