In consulting, firms are more dependent on the quality of their talent than anything else. Recruiting the brightest talent and keeping them within the firm is therefore instrumental for the success of any consulting firm, but which firms provide the best workplace? Meet the top consulting firms to work for in the world.

The definition of a top workplace is hugely diverse, and to capture the wide variety of key employment factors that determines how satisfied staff are with their employer, it is important to look at several aspects including the level of challenge offered by projects, the impact firms make in industry, the type of clients consulting firms work with, international opportunities, compensation & benefits and quality of leadership. 

Other important factors that distinguish the best consulting workplaces from the rest are factors such as diversity & inclusion, firm culture, professional development opportunities, promotion policies and performance management, opportunities for career growth, work/life balance, as well as the extent to which a consultancy makes a positive social impact in society.
