Everyone is always taking about differences within MBB- what about the differences between the second tier firms (OLA)? I honestly know very little about OW/LEK and would love to learn more

Oh no, now you’ve opened the can of worms of what firms are second tier

No offense meant to Accenture/Deloitte but both firms operate very differently vs the three firms I mentioned... doesn’t really make sense to compare an OW to an Accenture- the scale and type of firm are completely different

OW does FS strategy, LEK does PE DD, ATK does ops PMO or something

Want to reiterate how crazy it is to compare these firms to big 4, etc. Having worked at both it really is apples to oranges. We do mostly PE DD and strategy cases, which correlates more to the strategy arms of B4. So any comparison would be there.

D2 thats my perception too. Along with ATK: mckinsey but like not mckinsey, OW: fratty, LEK: IB hours without IB money

Also hear about both of them a lot here on Fishbowl but rarely see any posts about OW or LEK- would like to learn more about the firms that are most similar to my own

OW very strong in financial services, Roland Berger auto, LEK PE. ATK is a bit distinct in that it has a broad offering industry and geography-wise, but leans towards ops over strategy. Can’t speak to cultures of other firms, but we’re quite collaborative and pretty down-to-earth. Plenty of ATK folks choose it over MBB in the long run because we prefer the culture.

I’m interested too. We do a lot of PE DD and strategy.

I have a lot of respect for that cohort. Friends from b-school who I admired a lot were at OW but got burnt out, and some candidates I loved in recruiting chose LEK. I know ATK is ops focused, but would be curious to know what that actually translates to by way of project work.
