Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I am happy to provide my perspective on it:

  • Generally speaking, Ricardo is a global engineering services provider and as such their business is not very much linked to how strategy consulting is defined.
  • While they consider themselves to equally be a strategy consulting company, I would assume that Ricardo simply wants to highlight that their actions are long-term sustainable.
  • While the situation you describe might still be the case for industry experts highly sought after by strategy consulting companies, I would assume this is more the exception than the rule.

In case you want a more detailed discussion on the matter, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi there,

I encourage you to be more objective-driven and precise in your questions - that's the mark of a good consultant :)

How do you define “good”? What are your objectives here (money, career growth, culture, projects, work-life balance). If you can clarify this a bit, we can better answer your question.

it’s all what you mentioned (brand,career growth, culture, projects, work-life balance). I excluded the money because I have an offer and I know they are not as high as MBB! But decent.

It's great… for engineering!

BCG giving equal tenure to Ricardo consultant's would be as nonsense as Ricardo giving BCG consultants equal tenure for engineering consulting.

So yeah, Ricardo is a reference in engineering consulting. Not in business consulting. In Engineering.

Ricardo has a division for Strategy Consulting called Ricardo Strategy Consulting ! aside from the engineering consulting and they serve Auto, Tech and Transportation Industries.

I wouldn't give it credibility to being comparable to strategy consulting at BCG or for them to be recognized by BCG as equals.
