Thoughts on O&P at LEK? Is it looked down on by the rest of the firm (what I hear about S&’s M&A Ops team and EY-P’s TSE team) or is it closer to how MBB see their different practices?

There’s a diminishing group you’re referring to. Remember the market doesn’t know better and the checks cash the same.

O&P is respected at the firm but they take different projects so there is very limited interaction with CDD/strat staff. I've only worked on two projects out of 30+ where we had a mixed strat+O&P team. They are good though and the lateral MDs they've brought over are selling so practice is growing. Unlike rest of the firm O&P is not industry aligned so staff float but stay inside the O&P group.

Not much today, O&P is focused on consumer and industrials companies but its growing so more industries are being served each year

I’m at LEK (the strategy and CDD part) and don’t hear much about O&P

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
