Update on Consulting Firms that Sponsor H1b and Accepts F1 Students
Hi Everyone,
I have searched numerous forums and this website, but the majority of the information is outdated. Especially since 2019, and the recent complications due to COVID-19, some companies have changed their policies. I was wondering if there is an update on whether the following firms sponsor or not. Thank you for the help!
MBB is known to sponsor, so they can be ignored for the purposes of this post.
McKinsey: Yes
Bain: Yes
BCG: Yes
Please provide more color on these companies. (Feel free to discuss more firms)
Deloitte Consulting
Parthenon (EY)
PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory
A.T. Kearney
Roland Berger
Oliver Wyman
Booz Allen Hamilton
Navigant
BDO Consulting
Capgemini Consulting
L.E.K. Consulting
Can only speak from personal experience about MBA OCR, Deloitte stopped sponsoring this year and EY still sponsors. PWC only sponsors for certain groups. I remember seeing a link from their website. Not sure about the rest.
Deloitte Consulting just stopped sponsoring, PwC only sponsors for tech consulting, ATK does not sponsor. EY sponsors for all divisions though
Adding on to this - any idea on the Life Science/Healthcare boutiques?
LEK
ClearView
Simon-Kucher (more of a generalist with a big Life Science practice)
Putnam
Clarion
Deleted
PwC Advisory sponsors for Tech, Strategy& sponsors for all
Is this only for MBA?
For Strategy&, they sponsor both Undergrad and MBA
PwC Advisory idk tbh
Has the application for FT Strategy& positions closed for Undergrads? I cannot seem to find it online.
The link below outlines PWC's policy

Don't you just need to make sure the job is in your area of study + have a letter from the school to work 40+ hours with your F1?
Deloitte Consulting - No
Parthenon (EY) - Yes
PricewaterhouseCoopers Advisory - S& sponsors at all levels, a bit more nuanced for PwC. One of the posters above posted the link to their comprehensive policy
A.T. Kearney - EDIT: No for undergrads, Yes for MBA
Roland Berger - No
Oliver Wyman - No
Booz Allen Hamilton - Not for consulting roles
Navigant - No
BDO Consulting - Not sure
Capgemini Consulting - Not sure, but aren't they one of the infamous H1-B factories to begin with?
L.E.K. Consulting - Yes at the MBA level, not sure about undergrad
A.T. Kearney on my school's website. Seems like they do not sponsor.
"Kearney must consider current u.s. immigration rules and obligations for our full-time entry level roles, especially where visa sponsorship is required. for this reason, we are unable to consider business analyst candidates that require visa sponsorship now or in the future, this includes stem opt extensions. "
Thanks for the info. Added it to my first post.
LEK sponsors for undergrad I believe
We sponsor. Don't know much about the specifics but if you're thinking of applying to CRA, HR has made it clear you can email them even as a prospective candidate to get more information on it.
That's great and I'll make sure to email them to inquire more, but CRA has 0 counts of past H1B sponsorships so I just assumed they wouldn't.
Bump. Does anyone know any of consulting firms that are friendlier to non-targets without OCR which sponsor H1B?
There are a bunch of specialist consulting firms that sponsor:
(Supply Chain - GEP, OMP, Chainalytics, DHL consulting)
(Financial services- Novantas, Cornerstone Research, NERA, Berkeley Research Group)
(Analytics - Mastercard Advisors, End - End Analytics, Tredence, Fractal)
(Healthcare - Axtria, ZS, IQVIA)
Have you further recommendations for boutique consulting firms that sponsor? Many thanks! Your advise is highly appreciated!
Does anybody know whether Accenture hires F-1 undergrads w/ STEM OPT? Specifically this is for End-To-End Analytics which they acquired a few yrs ago and operates as a business unit within the larger Acc org
OC&C sponsors STEM major F-1 students
Bump cause this is a very useful thread.
Does anyone have color on Rx firms like FTI, A&M, and AlixPartners?
