TOP 10 CONSULTING FIRMS IN THE WORLD – 2016
Vault.com, the highly respected American careers website, has released its ranking of top consulting firms in America (and the world) for 2016.
Vault does ranking every year based on a thorough survey and research.
Their methodology adopted:
30 percent prestige
15 percent satisfaction
15 percent compensation
10 percent firm culture
10 percent work-life balance
10 percent overall business outlook
5 percent promotion policies
5 percent ability to challenge
The survey was only open to consultants who are currently employed at reputable firms in the industry. When rating quality of life issues, consultants are only permitted to rate their own firm. For prestige and practice area rankings, however, consultants are only allowed to rate competitors, and NOT their own firms.
The result:
