Pros and cons of working at Kearney
Pros
Amazing opportunities for growth; changes the way you interpret challenges and problems in your life
Leadership is extremely approachable and sees juniors as genuine thought partners
We went to Thailand for a week-long training induction covering our consulting skillset
The best thing about working at Kearney is the people! Genuinely nice people that I get along with on the job and outside of work
Very satisfied with pay and bonus
Cons
The most challenging aspect of working here, same as every other consulting firm, is the long hours
The hours and work-life balance can be a challenge however this is being proactively managed through various channels and is a key topic that is discussed frequently
Whilst juniors are given tremendous ownership, such ownership results in accountability, which can be stressful at times
Our office sometimes can't accommodate everyone if we all come in on Fridays
Long hours and demanding workloads
