Kearney reviews

Huge issue with lack of bonus Horrendous work-life balance Complete faith in rating system Lots of cost transformations A.T. Kearney paid out its bonuses in the very end of February (2014) for 2013 work. Furthermore, A.T. Kearney, a firm that pays under the industry average at the lower ranks, paid no bonus to roughly 50% of employees. [About 15% are getting out-counseled]. The other 35% were not given a bonus. The bonus was completely tied to your annual performance evaluation, a system that is by no means at all perfect - and mostly flawed. Even folks who got promotions in 2013 were not consistently happy with their bonus as a percent of their new salaries. 'Leaving the firm' e-mails have like 5x'd because everyone is overworked and worked for that bonus - they're leaving when they don't get it.

Bait and switch - they just announced (in Feb 2014) that for 2013, that they are changing the compensation and bonus structure - so they are changing it AFTER the year has happened. They are limiting bonuses and salary increases to only the top 50% of employees, even though everyone works the same hours. The most frustrating fact is that they had us work the ENTIRE YEAR and then told us AFTER THE FACT. Many employees I know did not get a bonus or salary increase this year, only finding after they worked the entire year.
