We work together to not only provide our clients with the best results, but we work together so every colleague, including Summer Interns, is given full and ready access to a suite of training modules and workshops to help them learn and grow.

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 Summer Internship Assessment Day will be held on Friday 3 September 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 not held virtually).
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
