At a Glance

Uppers

“Responsibility early in your career, the pace of compensation progression, equity ownership, overall growth outlook, and diverse service offerings.”

“Culture, people, client work mix, hybrid work, and compensation.”

“There's certainly something to say about our culture at the firm. Whether you are talking to an analyst or a partner, there is genuine interaction at all levels, and would consider all of us to be friends.”

“The emphasis on career development and a sustainable work-life balance.”

Downers

“The promotion cycle only occurs once per year in December and there are no opportunities to get promoted in the middle of the year.”

“The focus on implementation can lead to long tails on projects that extend for months.”

“Being a smaller firm, the brand name has less recognition.”

“Relatively limited international opportunities, but we are working on it.”

About The Keystone Group

With offices in Atlanta, Chicago and L.A., The Keystone Group provides services related to growth strategy, operational improvement, turnaround, and M&A, across a wide range of industries. Small wonder, then, that its tagline is “making a difference”—something that the firm strives to do not just for clients, but in the wider world.

Founded in 1991, the company operates under four key guiding principles—and notes that three of the four relate to culture: “Be the Best at What We Do,” “Grow Your Skills Faster than Anywhere Else,” “Attain Financial Success,” and “Have Fun.” And that commitment to making a difference and fostering a positive culture doesn’t stop at good PR: every two years, the firm takes a mission trip to build homes for families in need and also hosts annual fundraisers to send underprivileged children to camp.
