I got an associate offer for LEK. The comp is decent, but I've heard horrible things about their WLB. Can anyone tell me why their hours are so bad? Especially with minimal travel What are you doing all day? Like people say "research" but what does that even mean. My thinking is there has to be some...

I've read around that LEK got hit pretty hard during COVID, with forced unpaid time off, major attrition, hiring temp workers, etc. How accurate are these sentiments in terms of impact on the firm's reputation (if at all), and how has life been affected for LEK consultants? Is this something to be...

Hi all, I'm currently a senior at a T10 school majoring in CS. I've been fortunate enough to receive offers from both L.E.K and EYP (Software Strategy Group), and I'm hoping to get some insight on a few things so I can make a more informed decision: 1. Type of work / WLB: I know that both firms...

Hey everyone! I currently have received offers from Oliver Wyman and LEK (both in the Boston Office). Do you have any insights on which one to choose, as I'm having a pretty difficult time trying to decide? My primary interest lies in healthcare, so I would want to go which has the strongest exit...

Anyone have any pointers regarding final round interviews at LEK? I think I did really well on both the first round cases, but wondering what the differences are with the final round. Thanks!

I'm a freshman at IU Kelley interested in pursuing a career in management consulting, based on prestige, lateraling, and work culture which type of consulting is better? I personally feel like Big 4 companies like Deloitte/PWC take the edge compared to companies like LEK/Kearney. But please feel...

Hi experts! I really hope to get some career advice from this forum. I have 2 summer internship offers: 1) LEK in London (8 weeks internship with ~100% return offers); 2) P&G in Geneva, Switzerland (European HQ) as Finance/Strategy intern (3 months with also ~100% return offers). What would be the...

Hey all, I am in the final stages of the interview process for the Life Science Associate role at L.E.K., an entry level position for graduates with a bioscience background. I ultimately want to work in Biotech/Medtech (either in a startup or as a VC), and hence I decided to apply to this programme,...

Hi y'all, first-time poster. I just interviewed with LEK and Putnam Associates. I was wondering how long should I be expecting some updates from them. Has anybody heard from these 2 firms this year yet? Thank you!

Anybody know more about this Ph.D. analyst position from LEK? Where does it fit into the Associate -> Consultant -> Manager career progression? It seems like a new position as there is very little information about it online.

I'm about 8 months into my consulting career with IBM GBS. The work I mostly do is around implementing enterprise software - traveling 4 days a week to our client's site. Although this is a critical part of our consulting practice, I want to transition to a role that is strategy and/or operations...

Hi all, I'm a UK undergraduate who's been fortunate enough to receive offers for Associate positions at LEK, Strategy& Corporate and Accenture (all London office). I'd love to hear from anyone who has a perspective on the relative merits of starting out at each of these firms. Specifically: 1. I've...

Hi Monkeys, I'm a rising undergrad senior at a semi-target (3.7 GPA, 2310 SAT, 35 ACT) who's interning at a T2 (LEK, Deloitte S&O, Strategy&, OW), and am looking to re-recruit at MBB this fall. I've never applied to MBB, but now I'm looking to go there full time - what should I be doing between now...

Hello friends, I'm currently a tech consultant at Deloitte, and been with the firm almost a year now. I currently work on big data and machine learning engagements in TMT due to my background, and I quickly discovered that I'm very interested in M&A due diligence in TMT. It is challenging to get on...

Hey guys! I'm new to the forum and wanted to get your take on some consulting firms, as well as US vs. UK. I have an offer from AlixPartners in their Dallas office (3rd biggest in the US) out of undergrad from a non-target top 30 uni. My aim was to get into consulting in the US (I'm an international...

Choosing between FT offers out of undergrad from LEK SF, Accenture Strategy in NY, and The Cambridge Group in Chicago. As of now, interested in long-term working in corp strategy in Consumer Goods/Retail (specifically apparel or beauty) but subject to change. LEK seems like the stronger choice but...

Question for you all for a, uh, friend... Suppose that a candidate from a strong tier 2 shop (S&O, S&, LEK) plans on going back to b-school in a few years and wants to stay in consulting. If that firm offers tuition reimbursement, do you believe that it would be better to stay on with the firm and...

I will be a first year associate at L.E.K. this Fall and looking to transition to private equity after a couple years. My work will involve mostly strategy engagements and maybe a few due diligence private equity cases. What are my prospects for recruiting at megafunds (in comparison to those with...

Hi all, Currently deciding between these two options. What's your thought? Thanks in advance!

Hey monkeys, I received offers at all three firms for a summer position (they will explode in a couple weeks) and I am coming from a target consulting school (Dartmouth/Duke). Last summer, I interned at a small VC firm in Boston. I have no idea what I want to do after consulting, whether that's...

Hi Everyone, I currently have offers from LEK and Deloitte S&O for summer internships, and I'm having an incredibly tough time choosing between the two. I know that the lifestyles for the two are almost polar opposite (Deloitte mostly travel, LEK mostly in office), and that LEK is a lot more...

Hi Guys, Got an offer from LEK Boston and AT Kearney Procurement and Analytics in NY. Need help deciding. This is difficult because 1) I want travel to client sites (Mon-Thurs) and international case experience (ATK offers but LEK doesn't really) 2) I really enjoy strategy work a lot, although I'm...

I know this has been answered many times, but with the state of the consulting industry and their uptick in hirings, how hard is it to lateral to a MBB/Booz/Oliver Wyman/LEK/Monitor/Parthenon? I know some people say it's nearly impossible unless you can an MBA. a little background - part of the...

Hi Money, I have to say I am not a consulting guy and not very passionate about it, but think management consulting is worthy trying as an summer internship in order to have a more diversified background. (I have done BB IBD internship before...) Roland Berger: German strategy consulting firm....

26 May 2011

I heard that for LEK a proportion of the pay is "profit share" which is dependent on performance of the firm every year. Does anybody know how much the profit share varies (does it fluctuate massively like 0-30% or is it more steady than that?), and what the expectation would be (better or worse...

18 May 2011

Do you think LEK or Accenture is better for an undergrad junior year summer internship and as a potential future employer? For LEK it would be as a SA for consulting, and Accenture has a MC development program that's rotational. As of now I'm interested in the strategy group, which I think the...

Does anybody know any specifics on the Life Science Specialist positions at LEK. It seems like an interesting entry point to the consulting world for PhDs and MDs, but they don't exactly have page after page of details on their site.

14 Feb 2011

1) I have a phone interview with L.E.K., it is suppose to be two 30 minute cases. Any thoughts on what to expect? 2) Also can anyone shed some light on how good this firm is nowadays, compared to the rest? Still solid in the 2nd tier behind Monitor? 3) Any insight on how well they place MBA...

08 Oct 2010

At the undergrad level can any offer any thoughts? -type of work? -reputation? -placement to b-schools? -other firm they would be benchmarked against? -salary level? Any other information you can share. Thanks so much, Run

17 Aug 2010

Any insights on what LEK interviews are like? Number of rounds, types of cases (focus on market sizing, strat, tons of math?) What is behavioral like? What sort of candidates do they look for? (are they largely skeptical that you will apply to MBB, do they like super finance people?) Are there any...

10 Aug 2010

Other than Bain, McKinsey and L.E.K, are there any other consulting firms out there that focus on Privet Equity clients?
