Deep Throat --
What about their strategy practice where Andrew is heading up? Are they doing any interesting work. I spoke with a couple of Director's from there who also came from AT Kearney and they seemed pretty sharp and blunt about what they do etc.
What do you know about the type of work they do within their strategy practice? What about folks who currently work there but came from AT Kearney? Why did they decide to move?
Not to worry about their NJ/NY office. I am interviewing elsewhere.
Thanks for all the info so far. Good stuff! |

Im sure that Andy is a smart guy and all and I cant speak with any degree of certainty about their strategy practice in the south; all I can say is that this company DOES NOT TREAT ITS EMPLOYEES WELL; And that should be your main acid test when considering employers. Especially if you are considering competing offers, which I hope you are
As in any company there are going to be some very nice people and some real assholes. At this company the collective personalities of all the nice people cannot outweigh the malevolence of just one or 2 assholes. Its time for the minority to try and provide some ballast
I do know they profess to do a lot of work in the food business and a lot of work in telecom; (C&W) The Financial Services practice tanked with the departure of one of the most arrogant, egocentric, megolamaniacs of all time. But it was not his leaving that made the practice tank. It was tunneling down a worm hole BECAUSE he was there.
This is all about an indigenous corporate culture that just plain stinks. So make your decisions based on the recruiter's pitch but take it with a grain of salt. The recruiter who hired me in NJ lasted about 3 months I think so I dont even have anyone to go back to in order to complain
Consider that over a given 6 month time frame approximately 35% of the company turned over.
