Simon-Kucher & Partners How prestigious is Simon-Kucher & Partners compared to MBB, Big 4 Strategy (Strategy&, Parthenon etc), Accenture Strategy, LEK, Kearney etc. Are they a good firm to work for?

Well considering I got interviews at all 3 MBBs and virtually all T2s but couldn’t get a response from SKP says they’re quite prestigious — maybe even tier 0

K1 - I’m surprised your so salty and haven’t realized it’s mostly luck of the draw.

If pricing is your thing, they are very prestigious. Mostly specific to this niche though. Still would not be able to rank SKP relative to MBB and tier 2… but am willing to say that they are above ACN + b4 strat arms

I’d say this is fair:

In our specialty (pricing, sales strategy, GTM, market positioning, etc.), compete against MBB.

Other stuff comes up here and there, but it doesn’t make sense to offer services on capabilities the firm doesn’t have.

In terms of exit opps, prob a little below T2, welllll above B4.

Overall, it’s not an apples to apples comparison against broad spectrum strategy consulting shops. On the flip side, we are still a true strategy consulting firm - our deliverables are strategy decks and we do zero implementation work.

Very well known for growth strategy (pricing, GTM etc), people make good exits into tech monetization.
A close friend of mine recently left SKP for big tech. According to him - He liked it but the WLB has become tough to manage with the growth they are experiencing. Also a lot of new folks (some clueless) came into leadership impacting the culture and making life tough!
