Has anyone heard of L.E.K. Consulting ? Currently in a recruitment process with them but have heard mixed things, like working past midnight all the time and needing permission to log off (what does that even mean??). That said, I’ve also seen comments saying it’s not true at all, so not sure what to believe. Glassdoor looks decent.

L.E.K. was great, man. The pay was too high and the stress was too low - just couldn’t take it anymore y’know?

Here we go again with exaggerated comments…

I left LEK. It was really tough, but so are the other strategy firms (MBB / T2). LEK’s a little worse than peers, but you’ll learn a ton and make a lot of money. Be prepared to work till midnight 3x a week, and 6pm Thursdays and Fridays

The exits are great and the firm brand is comparable to other T2s (think Oliver Wyman, Kearney, Parthenon, Strategy&). If you don’t get an offer from a better firm you should take it and do it for 1-3 years

Feel free to DM. Too many trolls on this app and better to be helpful to people who are actually looking for it

LEK is a quality firm, you’d be lucky to intern there if you have an opportunity. Apparently the culture is a bit structured but I know people who worked there to really good exits.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
