As an ADC applying this summer for 2022 start, I haven’t gotten a chance to connect with any L.E.K. Consulting members and I really want to get to know the company better before moving on with my application. Any L.E.K. Consulting fish out there willing to spare a few minutes to chat about their work, the company, the culture etc? Thanks!

This is something I struggle with and obv it depends on the culture of the firm but in general I have found that reviews reflect the reality of the firm not always the “value” of the associate. The prime example is scores of people getting “poor” performance reviews coincidentally at the same time the economy tanks, work dries up and there isn’t enough to go around. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t take any constructive criticism seriously (you obviously should) but reviews (esp to black attorneys) are not a straightforward affair and you have to get used to reading in between the lines a bit. You also have mitigating circumstances that tell a big part of the hours story. Finally don’t be afraid to (very carefully/artfully) stand up for yourself if you think the narrative isn’t stacking up. Good luck!!
