It's an interesting time to be at the firms.Downey Brand Continues to Rank High in Vault Results I can't speak for DT, but I know Strategy& was part of a major international change to how PwC consulting operates, and it will have a significant effect on improving the delivery of our projects globally. The constant investment (i.e., Monitor/Booz/PRTM/Diamond etc.) at Deloitte and PwC is beginning to pay off. Not there yet, but as a former McKinsey Partner put it - American Auto didn't see the Japanese coming either. However, there is an interesting pattern emerging as the "other" firms appear to be gaining ground on the MBB even in the prestige rankings. The rankings (albeit by the general consulting populace) seem to run counter to some of the issues identified here: The traditional prestige ranking is here, which to some degree may be a better measure of the brand strength rather than using the employee value proposition. The ranking you listed includes other factors like work-life balancer etc. All that matters is what executives around the world think and who is winning deals and at what bill rates - in the end of the day that's all that matters. I've never even heard of some of these firms so these rankings are sometimes a good way to learn more about the industry and the different players out there.Īnyway, that's my 2 cents but, of course, rankings are BS.The #50 firm, Triage, is an awesome place.not even in the top 50? Was this a mistake by Vault? Their consulting practice is behind the other Big 4 but not by THAT much. ummmm what? I'm not saying this is a dumb statement I'm more wondering is this just pure speculation or grounded in truth? do by chance work at either firm? I'd be curious to hear more about this. Someone mentioned KPMG potentially purchasing ATK.It's ridiculous they're not in the top 50 - they win TONS of deals, mostly because every company in the US uses IBM products in some way (foot in the door is always the best way to sell deals). A great IT consulting firm, although branching out into strategy/ops has been met with lukewarm reception.
IBM GBS is also perpetually underrated.MBB/other top competitors, although I'm not sure what attrition has been like post-acquisition. It's a great strategy house and they win a lot of deals vs. Parthenon (yes, I know it's now part of EY) is perpetually underrated.The sub-rankings (Strat Consulting, Econ Consulting, IT Consulting, Prestige, etc.) are probably more interesting to look at but, still, super biased because consulting firms themselves are voting on it and therefore can clearly have ulterior motives. Each has its own competitive advantage and dominates different markets and different types of engagements and one is not always better than the other in a way that can be ranked.
Vault rankings full#
"Consulting" is such a broad term it's hard to compare a tiny, super niche firm (aka ClearView) to mostly operational firm (aka AT Kearney) to a huge full service firm (aka Big 4/ Accenture/IBM GBS) to a traditional strategy house (aka Bain). I think Vault rankings are even worse than B-School rankings - way too subjective and often way off the mark.
