Overview on who (consulting) is Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 - Germany & US?

Hi all,

I am wondering if anybody had a good list/overview on who is which Tier (like 1. McKinsey=Tier 1; US and Germany; ...), including ranks?

There are different opinions and probably different perspectives, that's why I'd like to hear your thoughts ... 

Thanks !

Bain (depends - strong name, but a strong focus on PE here)

Tier 2:

SSCO (even though small pretty prestigious in Germany)

Tier 3
