ABOUT THIS COMPANY:

Mold-breaker

Founded in Boston in 1886, Arthur D. Little lays claim to the dual titles of first and oldest management consultancy in the world.  The pioneering spirit of the founder who lent the firm its name is the stuff of legend, as is the firm's continued survival, despite a serious restructuring that led to its being acquired by France's Altran Technologies in 2002.  So while Arthur D. Little himself may be long gone, the firm that bears his name is still going strong.  The 1,000-plus consultants it employs today find themselves spread across 30 countries, offering tailored services to clients in industries including automotive, chemical, energy and utilities, financial services, health care/life sciences, manufacturing, TIME (telecommunications, information technology, media and electronics), consumer goods, private equity and transportation.  The company also serves state and federal agencies, as well as foreign governments.

Tips from the inside

Nothing out of the ordinary

Getting a foot through the door of Arthur D. Little follows a similar route as many other consultancies.  The overall process differs from office to office and depending on the position sought, we are told, but in general, the process includes "five interviews: a prescreening interview (one hour), three focus interviews (one day), a case preparation and presentation, [and finally a] partner interview".
