Hi there,

Q: How is Monitor Deloitte regarded in the US compared to other consultancies?

You can have a look at the following article I wrote below:

▶ Top 15 Consulting Firms by Revenues and Prestige

Here is an extract of the “prestige” ranking, based on the 2020 MBA hiring (you can see the full list and revenue data by clicking on the article above):

You can check that MBB are the clear winners.

In terms of the others, if we keep the companies that just do strategy and are not related to Big 4 with their brand name (ie, we don’t consider Accenture, Deloitte, EYP), then you get Strategy&, Kearney, Roland Berger, Oliver Wyman in the first positions. For companies that also do non-strategy projects, such as Deloitte, identifying a proper ranking is more tricky, as candidates might join for different reasons/positions.

This is still an imprecise way to measure prestige as some companies might simply hire fewer MBA candidates than others due to preference or size, but could provide a general orientation of what top MBA candidates consider better for their career at that stage.

Keep in mind that geography and industry matter a lot in the definition of a top company. Examples:

• Strategy& can be considered a top player in the Middle East thanks to the Booz legacy, less so in other geographies
• Oliver Wyman can be considered a top player in financial service and has a very good reputation in terms of quality of work in that industry, less so in other sectors

Good luck!
