Best Consulting Firm to work for - London

Hey guys, currently I’m a second-year applying for internships and I’ve received a couple of offers and I have a bit of trouble deciding between the firms. Could you let me know what your opinions are on the following firms' exit opportunities (30%), culture (W/L balance) (20%), type of project work (keener on strategy than implementation, also high impact work with cool clients)(30%) and industry specialities (20%), and then personal experiences (please specify if your experience is not London office).

BCG, Bain, EY Parthenon, Kearney, L.E.K, Marakon, McKinsey, OC&C, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Simon Kucher, Strategy&

Depending what industry you want to work in, if you wanna be a consultant through and through or if it’s a stepping stone for Pe or something else

 

agree that you should get some offers before asking for this level of specific detail. easier to get nuanced when youre just comparing 2-3 firms

that being said, it's generally true that MBB > LEK / EY-P / OC&C > Simon Kucher in London, I think

 

Nihil esse expedita rem saepe aut quasi. Iusto maxime ipsum dicta fugiat voluptas eum ipsam. Enim vel molestiae pariatur qui sit voluptatibus. Quis voluptas eos blanditiis possimus molestias.

Sed et et sit. Enim laboriosam dolorum ut sit suscipit totam est. Qui voluptas fugiat eos non. Possimus eveniet iste animi eum dolorem et doloremque qui. Provident aut nostrum quia quis a iusto soluta. Facilis sit eum voluptatem iusto.

Alias sequi sunt quia qui dicta minima unde. Nulla hic quo veritatis maxime. Et hic corrupti quia tenetur reiciendis hic.
