&lt;p&gt;I am delighted to announce the release of the 2018 Vault Consulting rankings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without further ado, here are the top 10 consulting firms to work for in North America in 2018:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/mckinsey-company/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;McKinsey &amp;amp; Company&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/the-boston-consulting-group,-inc.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Boston Consulting Group, Inc.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/bain-company/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Bain &amp;amp; Company&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/deloitte-consulting-llp/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Deloitte Consulting LLP&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/oliver-wyman/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Oliver Wyman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/the-bridgespan-group/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Bridgespan Group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/putnam-associates/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Putnam Associates&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/the-parthenon-group/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Parthenon-EY&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/lek-consulting/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;L.E.K. Consulting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/the-brattle-group/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Brattle Group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;To view the full Vault Consulting 50,&#160;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-rankings/consulting/vault-consulting-50/?sRankID=248&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Based on almost 9,000 survey responses from verified, practicing consultants at more than 60 firms in North America, this year&#39;s rankings see a number of interesting changes and trends emerge:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;McKinsey &amp;amp; Co. was named the Best Consulting Firm to Work For in the Vault Consulting 50—re-taking the top spot after dropping to #3 last year.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;McKinsey retained the #1 spot in Vault&#39;s ranking of the Most Prestigious Consulting Firms.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Firm culture emerged as the leading concern when employees are selecting a firm, confirming an ongoing shift in employee values.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Large firms have responded to that shift—and to competition from boutiques and Silicon Valley—by increasing focus on culture and work-life balance for employees.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-profiles/management-strategy/insight-sourcing-group/company-overview.aspx&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Insight Sourcing Group&lt;/a&gt; was named the Best Boutique Consulting Firm to work for.&#160;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Vault Consulting 50 ranking takes into account a firm&#39;s reputation in the industry as well as employees&#39; satisfaction with key factors influencing their work life, such as culture, compensation and promotion policies. Vault&#39;s survey also polled consultants on the strongest firms in more than a dozen different practice areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Additional Rankings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the coming days, I&#39;ll be featuring some of the other rankings we released today--but if you want to check them out right now, you can find them at the following links:&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-rankings/consulting/&quot;&gt;View all rankings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-rankings/consulting/best-consulting-firms-prestige/?sRankID=77&quot;&gt;Vault&#39;s Most Prestigious Consulting Firms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-rankings/consulting/best-boutique-consulting-firms/?sRankID=422&quot;&gt;Vault&#39;s Best Boutique Consulting Firms to Work For&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-rankings/consulting/best-firms-in-each-practice-area?sRankID=394&quot;&gt;Vault&#39;s Best Consulting Firm in Each Practice Area&lt;/a&gt; (Includes Management, Strategy, Pharma &amp;amp; Biotech, Economic Consulting and more)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/company-rankings/consulting/best-to-work-for/?sRankID=325&quot;&gt;Vault&#39;s Best Consulting Firms to Work For&lt;/a&gt; (Individual Quality of Life categories, including Compensation, Firm Culture, Work-Life Balance, Diversity and more)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, I&#39;d like to end this post by thanking everyone involved in the creation of these rankings, from Vault&#39;s survey, client outreach and editorial teams to the firms we feature for giving us unprecedented access to their employees. I&#39;d also like to thank everyone who participated in the survey--without the responses we gather from consultants, none of these rankings, or the thousands of written reviews we feature about these firms, would be possible.&lt;/p&gt;
