What’s Unique about Chicago-based Consulting Work

Chi-town is a dynamic city for consulting and is home to almost three dozen fortune 500 companies. Given its status as the 3rd-largest city in the U.S. and the broad range of industries represented here, you’ll find Chicago has a deep pool of possibilities with the largest variety of client work within the U.S.

Chicago has also seen a massive increase in tech start-ups during the last decade and that’s adding more energy and innovation to the Midwestern culture. Although almost every industry has some presence in Chicago; consumer products, financial services, healthcare, industrials, retail, technology, telecom, and private equity are just some that you can expect to work with here.

In terms of functions, typical Chicago consulting projects involve business transformation, customer insights, finance, innovation strategy and delivery, manufacturing, operations, people strategy, marketing & sales, and social impact.

Chicago tends to be a hub for many consulting firms. McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and other firms have some of their largest offices housed here. The large size of Chicago consulting offices means there are more opportunities here than in smaller offices.

And the competition for an offer can be a bit lower than in higher-demand cities like New York and San Francisco. While the problem-solving bar is the same for getting an offer in Chicago consulting offices, they have very large hiring targets with fewer applicants.

Top Strategy Consulting Firms in Chicago: McKinsey, Bain, & BCG

McKinsey Chicago

Chicago was McKinsey’s 1st office and is still one of their largest offices with about 1,000 professionals. McKinsey Chicago is a hub for high-impact client work and it continues to grow.

McKinsey’s Midwest offices include Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis. They work with over 300 Fortune 1000 companies based in the Midwest. McKinsey has a global staffing model which can mean that your cases won’t all be in the Chicago area.

McKinsey Chicago works across a range of industries, including:

  • Consumer goods
  • Retail
  • Healthcare payers and providers
  • Medical products
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Aerospace
  • Technology
  • Financial services
  • Transportation
  • The public sector

Bain Chicago

Bain’s focus is to do high-impact work for their clients while helping the talented people who work for Bain achieve great success. Their Chicago office continues to grow rapidly but still has more of a small, tight-knit feel.

Almost every practice area is represented in Chicago and this increases the likelihood that you will work directly with practice area leaders and industry experts since many call Chicago home.

The BCG Chicago office has a large volume and variety of client work, so consultants here have more choice in assignments than is typical in consulting. Many consultants work with clients in and around the Chicago area, but there is also the opportunity to travel internationally or within the U.S.

Pro bono projects are a big draw here too and include work in education, economic development, the environment, human services, and the arts.

BCG Chicago’s culture is collaborative and informal, while building on the entrepreneurial and creative vibe that is consistent with other BCG offices.

BCG Chicago serves a wide array of industries, including:

  • Aerospace and defense,
  • Consumer products,

Boutique Consulting Firms in Chicago

Top-tier strategy consulting firms like Bain, BCG, and McKinsey, as well as the Tier 2 and Big 4 firms, are the most sought-after consulting firms in Chicago. Still, there are 50 other firms that warrant a closer look. 

Boutique consulting firms often have a specialty field such as healthcare, life sciences, or private equity. They can be a great place to gain experience in an area that interests you. These smaller firms can also offer a faster growth trajectory with increased opportunities for client-facing work.
