Employee Reviews
- “Simon-Kucher is very much a collegial, supportive culture where partners and project managers are pretty practical in their expectations for each project.”
- “The partners go out of their way to ensure the new consultants feel connected to their class, and they frequently invite project teams to events, even sometimes at their homes. In general, you're not only working alongside brilliant, driven people, but also those who are pleasant and easy to befriend.”
- “All the responsibility placed on consultants very early has developed some of the best-in-class consultants I've ever had the opportunity to work alongside.”

Getting Hired Here
- “We do an initial interview followed by a final round of three interviews with partners and directors.”
- “The ideal candidate has high analytical aptitude, good business acumen, drive, entrepreneurial spirit, humility, good team spirit, and the ability to learn things quickly.”
- “We look for incredibly talented individuals who value their independence and are not looking to conform to a common standard. These people also need to be able to integrate with their teams, so that’s the delicate balance in our process.”
