How’s the culture at L.E.K. Consulting?

I’ve heard really long hours but people and pay are great. Anyone have a similar experience?

Hours are better than MBB

likefunny

C2 - 55-65 to 50-55.
And I think the difference is even more stark for associates

Yep - people cry a lot on fishbowl, but when it comes down to it things aren’t much different vs MBB.

We travel less (which I like), people are great / fun to work with, and hours are manageable for the most part (no different from other firms).
There is a slight delta in pay at the A level, but it evens out at the C level (compared to MBB)

Exit opps are really good too (including PE)

Sounds about right. All depends on who u comparing us to

Cons: Its a startup, the solution they offer is adjacent to my desired industry, its a very small team so I wouldn’t grow my network as much, tech stipend for new laptop (but they don’t provide a work one)

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures.

Question on entering consulting. Worked for a non-profit for six years, entered healthcare tech last year as a CSM, and just got an offer from a life sciences consulting firm. My hope is to eventually get into more broad strategy consulting (MBB or big 4, have connections at both). Would working at a more boutique firm limit or help in the long run? I don’t want to be in life sciences forever but figured it could be a good launchpad into consulting. I’m 30 so not old, but also not young.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
