Kearney reviews

The working environment is very hierarchical and "old school," and places little value on teamwork and shared achievement. Creativity is not a welcomed trait, and work-life balance is irrelevant - be prepared for Sunday - Friday travel. Management tends to have an aggressive attitude towards associates and analysts, and criticism is lobbed with abandon - thick skin is a required accessory. One senior VP openly admitted that there are 5 people waiting in line for every job, and most employees stay less than 2 years, so it doesn't make sense for him to try to keep people happy or build a better culture.

For a company that had a solid foundation in supply chain, the focus has changed to general business consulting (hello Accenture, Deloitte, etc.) and lost focus on the core strength to further develop it as the industry leader. The division of the Management Consulting and Procurement Services creates friction and unnecessary inferior complex when consultants are working together on a project. Work Life balance does not exist and your career concerns are swept under the rug. Over stresses importance of PowerPoint slides and overzealous Principals who have no principles when it comes to work/life balance with others ready to throw you under the bus at any moment.
