L.E.K. Consulting vs. Simon-Kucher & Partners vs. ZS Associates?

Hello,

I've got an interview with both LEK and SKP for their life sciences division. Does anyone have an experience interviewing with LEK or SKP? How do they compare? L.E.K. is obviously pretty solid in biopharma and life sciences but I heard SKP is growing pretty rapidly these days especially in the U.S. Some people say the work is similar to ZS Associates for healthcare and marketing forces, but I heard SKP is doing more strategy and pricing related projects.

Any inputs on any of the three would be of great help!
