...oh wait
Whichever one gives you an offer
From a practical point of view - this:
Beyond that: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/tiers-for-consulting-firms
Seriously....you couldn't have even done a cursory search?
McKinsey >= BCG (increasingly equal in recent years) > Bain >>> LEK, Oliver Wyman (extremely strong growth), Roland Berger >= Deloitte, Booz >>> Mercer, Accenture etc. in terms of street/industry prestige.
Honestly, they all do very similar work and have very similar people (based on my experience of having interned and/or worked at 2/3 MBB and a top boutique). Get your offers and pick based on the culture, people, location etc.
Just my $0.02
Where is this for? Are we talking pure prestige? In the U.S., I'd rank them based on prestige in the following way:
McKinsey > Bain = BCG >> LEK = OW = Deloitte S&O = Parthenon = Booz >> Accenture MCDP, Deloitte Human Capital & Tech
Im shocked Accenture MCDP is listed before places like ZS or ATK, maybe my perception of Accenture is skewed. But I always thought their MC group was on par with IMB's or PwC and EY's
Tier 1: Mckinsey, BCG, Bain (people are quibbling over semantics when they rank these three) Tier 2: OW (probably best in their), LEK, Parthenon, Deloitte S&O, Booz Tier 3: Huron, Kurt Salmon, Accenture, etc (there are a lot of these)
Where is ATK in this? I always thought ATK is a top 5 firm
Yea forgot about them--somewhere in Tier 2.
They are on par with Booz but definitely on a different level than other firms you mentioned in Tier 2. The key measure that people keep forgetting about is whether a firm is global or not. Deloitte or OW may be fine in the US but are virtually non-existent in many key regions of the world. ATK on the other hand is a global firm.
BCG > McKinsey in my opinion; I find most friends who went to BCG more more friendly, humble, and willing to help than those aggorant and proud friends who went McKinsey. Both firms definitely have some of the smartest employees, but I have a personal impression that BCG people, at least my own experience, are much much friendly, approchable, and make you feel good instead of those McKinsey people who gives you lots of pressure because they assume they are the best.
