Vault Verdict

Kx Advisors appears to be vindicating every reason for spinning the business out of Kaiser Associates in 2019. Despite doing the bulk of its firm building to date throughout a global pandemic, Kx has gone from strength to strength, adding headcount and clients at a steady clip.

Insiders are effusive about their careers with the firm, with words like “joy”, “fun” and “considerate” all cropping up in this year’s batch of survey responses—terms that are unusual simply for their lack of use by consultants at competing firms.

All of that adds up to an opportunity to build a rewarding, well-compensated career with a firm that appears to be making rapid headway in a burgeoning sector of the industry. It’s healthcare consulting, but not as we typically ...

Employee Reviews


  • “A focus on joy—we really try to emphasize a human-centric approach to our work and processes. This means having fun with our clients, in addition to the requisite excellent work, and not letting ego and pretense take hold in any of our internal interactions. We want people to feel supported and able to express their authentic selves. This is also included in our firm Values.”
  • “I was nervous about entering the corporate consulting world based on stories I had heard from friends at other firms. I didn't know anyone at Kx so I took a gamble and it has completely defied any stereotype thus far.”
  • “Kx Advisors allows new employees to learn by placing employees in real-world challenges, thus increasing their growth rate exponentially.”
  • “One-of-a-kind opportunity to focus in healthcare growth strategy, advance your career/compensation rapidly, and work with incredible people & leaders.”
  • “The fact I was able to present to a client only 3 weeks into my job was unique. Having these early growth opportunities allowed me to feel as though Kx had my back, was confident in my abilities, and would provide me with feedback to help me develop, not to tear me apart.”

Getting Hired Here


  • “Excellent and responsive interview and callback process. The recruiting team was very organized and helpful in planning the entire process. The ideal candidate for Kx is someone highly interested in life sciences looking to make a big impact on the healthcare/life sciences space. This may mean that you have a technical science background with an interest in life science-related businesses or a business background with an interest in working in the healthcare/life sciences space and a deep knowledge of science.”
  • “I had a very rapid interview and callback process. Only 2 weeks passed from the time I was invited to a first round interview, second round interview, and given an offer. I believe the ideal candidate my firm is seeking is an enthusiastic problem-solver unafraid to ask questions and eager to learn.”
  • “The interview process is very structured and laid out for the candidate at the beginning. Each step is followed up with a touchpoint from the recruiter, who then reviews and schedules the next step. The process combines behavioral interviews to assess culture/fit, attitude, and values with a case study and Q&A to evaluate thought process, subject matter expertise, presentation ability, ability to think on their feet.”
  • “Two initial interviews with casing, behavioral questions, and Q&A. Afterward, a written assignment and then a Super Day with Partners. I believe they are seeking an organized, thoughtful, and professional individual passionate about the healthcare space.”
  • “What makes Kx unique is their target pool of science majors. No business experience is necessary, which allows for a uniquely innovative culture with a variety of highly knowledgeable individuals across all project topics. My interview process took 2 months on the dot, which was faster than many other companies.”
