L.E.K. firm

Hey, 

 

I'd like to know what differentiates L.E.K. from other firms, especially in terms of project/industry focus and culture.

 

Moreover, if someone from L.E.K. reads this, I'd like to get in contact with them, as I'm struggling to get to talk with an L.E.K. consultant (I have no alumnis there and I contacted several ones on LikedIn without success yet).

 

Thank you!

Hi there,

I'm concerned with your comment that you can't get in touch with anyone at LEK (or Kearney, per your other Q&A).

This indicates to me that your messages are incorrect. Are you being concise/too-the-point or overly verbose? Are you “imposing” yourself by asking for a call off the bat, or hinting at hoping for one? Do you have a “catch” or “hook” sentence that connects you to them?

Feel free to reach out to me with some of the messages you've sent people - I'm happy to let you know if your issue is indeed the messages themselves (or just bad luck)

Hi there,

This is indeed an interesting question which is probably relevant for quite a lot of users, so I'm happy to give you my perspective on that:

  • L.E.K. has a slight functional focus on corporate strategy, M&A and operations even thoug they still provide all types of services. Industry-wise, the company seems to cover all industries yet with different regional focus (e.g. Western Europe seems to heavily focus on the private equity, healthcare and financial service industries). Depending on what region you would be interested in, I'd be happy to give more insights on the key industries served.
  • Related to L.E.K.'s corporate culture, from the experience of my personal network, L.E.K. is known to have a very down-to-earth, approachable culture and they seem to heavily stress personal fit during the recruiting process, a fact that may come from its origin of Bain & Company.

In case you want me to get you in contact with L.E.K. employees of my personal network, please feel free to contact me directly.

I hope this helps,

Hagen

Hi Hagen, you have replied to other similar questions on different companies with very similar answers. Don't think its a good idea for you to offer to connect to your network.
