Arthur D. Little Strategy in the Middle East

Question

Happy Thursday, loungers!

Is anyone familiar with Arthur D. Little in the Middle East? What is their reputation in strategy consulting? Who are their direct competitors in the region and how do they stack up against them? MBB? Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, ATK? Big 4? What makes Arthur D. Little unique in the region? How does their pay compare to industry? What's their culture?What calibre of consultants do they onboard? What exit opportunities can I expect?

Any insights into the above will be useful. Thank you!

Answer 1

Hi there,

These are great networking questions! I encourage you to pick up the phone (and keyboard) and reach out to people to get to know more about the company. The side benefit will be a potential referral :)

Overall, they don't come close to MBB/Strategy&. They're reputable but probably outside the top 10. I'd probably put them closer to Roland Berger in terms of reputation.

Answer 2

They have a good brand in the Middle East, and are comparable to other strategy firms. Unfortunately, their global brand is not at par, so that always has some impact.

Answer 3

Hello!

Those are very very detailed questions, and also great. Hence, it will be difficult that you find insightful answers in blogs like this.

I would recommend you to use this as an opportunity for networking, and you will kill two birds with one stone.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara
