Didn’t know A&M was out here, if that answers your question.

damn :p

I don't think they are competing for the same projects as A&M is a restructuring firm. The pay is lower than the firms you mention (but not by a huge margin), work-life balance should be slightly better as I've heard. MBAs are most likely not sponsored (S& sponsors the most people in the region, if that's what you care about)

My concern is although A&M has a strategy practice there, exposure to strategy consulting would still be different / better at other firms (since as you said, A&M specializes in turnaround and restructuring)

A and M is good (bigger in US/EU though)

I'd choose them or Alix over Mck but I like restructuring work so it depends here

Top firm in Europe and the US but as the other poster mentioned, don’t really see them in the region / KSA. That may change in the next 5 years though
