Anyone’s guess.... Vault is pretty irrelevant these days.

If you really care, read up on their ranking methodology. Some of these rankings are based on undergrad students perception of these employers.

They ask you to pay for gold to see a deep dive.
I’m curious because I wonder how much brand recognition has to do with it. Obviously everyone in the corporate world knows MBB and big4/ACN, but not nearly as many know about OW, ATK, LEK, Parthenon.

Breadth and depth of capabilities. “Pure strategy” with a small team is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Our clients are no longer coming to us for just advice, but want us to partner with them to help implement and build on our recommendations longer term.

Smaller firms just don’t have the same resources that the bigger firms have, and when selling work that cuts across function/industry/capability, that makes a difference.

Booz and Co was in dire financial straights when PwC acquired then. It’s tough for a strategy pure play to survive on their own.

The story told to me by a partner was that the initial offer was turned down. A year later things had deteriorated so much the transaction price dropped by over 50%
