ATK is a sourcing and procurement powerhouse. So it comes down it what you want to do. If procurement interests you, it is a no brainer. Similarly, I suspect for M&A, PWC is a better place to be. Think of it in that terms.

ATK > PwC
- Talent pool
- “Strategy” work
- Culture
- Boutique adaptability

PwC > ATK
- Access to nearly every F500
- Expertise on everything
- Bigger brand
- Work life balance

I reverse my advice: for sure PwC if you’re interested in deals

BA1- ATK does a lot of work in sourcing and procurement and is considered one of the best firms in this function. Hence the recommendation.

But they don't do CDD that is S&.

Would recommend ATK over PwC MC, but would be helpful to know what part of MC you’re trying to compare

S&1, DDV Team PwC MC vs. ATK

ATK for sure, even if you like M&A and your interest is Strategy. DDV does almost zero strategy work.

P1: what is DDV?

Sorry but what does sourcing and procurement mean in this context? (I’m in federal)

Delivering Deal Value aka M&A Advisory

P1: Is it due diligence or post deal execution?

D1: Both

80% of DDV work is post deal integration PMO, and IT DD.

ATK

More than 10 years at Kearney and have not done any sourcing or ops work. Plenty of interesting opportunities
