Would appreciate candid perspectives from people familiar with Kearney D&A or Amazon Robotics. Evaluating two ~$300K TC opportunities: Kearney Manager (Supply Chain Design & Optimization) vs Amazon Robotics Sr. New Product Lead (autonomous last-mile robotics). Background in network optimization, OR/analytics, warehousing/capacity planning, plus prior MBB experience. Mainly trying to understand leadership quality, culture, sustainability, growth trajectory, and day-to-day reality. Feel free to DM

Since you already have MBB experience I wouldn’t do Kearney unless you want to be a consulting lifer. If you do want to be a lifer I personally wouldn’t worry about the partner promotion timeline. MBB and Amazon with a good group should let you get a great exit if you need it

Ugh man this would be a tough one then for me to help you decide. Does money and continued learning matter more to you? If so, I'd say choose Kearney. I'm going through this exact decision right now. I've worked at both MBB and FAANG and deciding where to go from here.

FAANG was 80% cutting through red tape and 20% cool innovative learning and had me feeling a bit jaded after ngl. Right now I'm pursuing consulting (in an area I'm actually interested in) or a smaller tech company to move faster. Hope that helps you

Amazon Robitics any day

I am hearing from those who work at amazon that the culture is brutal, dog eat dog world, lots of micromanagement and managers throwing team members under the bus.

Plus, no prospects of growth, almost everyone i know is stuck at L6, although some went from IC L6 to people's manager L6.

Lots of re-orgs, lay offs etc.

Any thoughts on these ?

Kearney D&A has linited exit potential. You would also do a lot of gruntwork. It is not in the same league as equivalent groups at mbb.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
