Pros

Good location in Tokyo central Rare business trip Not needed consulting experience. Jobs are almost Primarily Research.

Cons

The 1-star reviews are true. Thankless and toxic culture, driven by leadership and petty HR. That doesn't care about its employees at all. Even there appears manipulated positive reviews to boost Glassdoor Raing before their recruiting event, the fact that more than 50% of the office resigned in 2018 keeps proving what they are sweatshop, until when management will be changed.

Pros

Top-tier DD and growth strategy shop

Cons

DD hours can be long - but that's true of M&A consulting in general, not specific to L.E.K.
