We've Got Big Plans for You this Winter!
The Kearney Winter Internship gives you the opportunity to spend five weeks with the firm, experiencing what it is like to be a management consultant. Our Internship Program is an immersive hands-on experience and will see you work with some of the best consultants in the industry on real projects with real clients.
With us, you will experience consulting in a uniquely collegial way. We work together to not only provide our client with the best results, but we work together so every colleague, including Winter Interns, are given full and ready access to a suite of training modules and workshops to help them learn and grow.
This year, we are offering you the chance to complete a Winter Internship in either our General or Strategic Operations Practice.

Recruitment Process
In 2021, we will continue to hold Assessment Days for all internship recruitment. Our Assessment Days are a fun, interactive and engaging introduction to management consulting, where candidates spend half a day working both individually and as a group to help solve a problem inspired by the real work that we do at Kearney.
Our Winter Internship Assessment Day will be held on Friday 14th May 2021 and shortlisted candidates must be available to attend in either our Sydney or Melbourne offices (given current circumstances, we will make you aware in advance if this will be held virtually). Kearney will support those finalists located interstate or in New Zealand with travel arrangements (if we are not restricted by Government restraints with Travel).
Following the Assessment Day, selected candidates will be asked back for formal interviews expected to take place in the week following.

Pros and cons of working at Kearney
Pros
Amazing opportunities for growth; changes the way you interpret challenges and problems in your life
Leadership is extremely approachable and sees juniors as genuine thought partners
We went to Thailand for a week-long training induction covering our consulting skillset
The best thing about working at Kearney is the people! Genuinely nice people that I get along with on the job and outside of work
Very satisfied with pay and bonus
Cons
The most challenging aspect of working here, same as every other consulting firm, is the long hours
The hours and work-life balance can be a challenge however this is being proactively managed through various channels and is a key topic that is discussed frequently
Whilst juniors are given tremendous ownership, such ownership results in accountability, which can be stressful at times
Our office sometimes can't accommodate everyone if we all come in on Fridays
Long hours and demanding workloads
