Featured Review

Current Employee - Associate/Consultant

Keystone truly cares about their employees, both in their development and that they enjoy the work they are doing. Keystone feels like a startup, but with the access and impact of a large, consulting firm.

Featured Review

- Partner

Keystone is a great place for people that want to push beyond 80/20 to deliver world-class insights and work beside world-class academic and industry experts on fun, exciting projects related to technology.

Employee - Manager

Keystone covers 100% of employee health plans. There is no monthly payout for team members on our healthcare benefits. The firm also has a good 401K plan with a personal advisor that is available to every employee.

Very strong in the technology sector.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Keystone is a boutique consulting firm with a focus on technology. We serve our clients both through economic and technical analyses to support legal discussions and through strategy analyses and recommendations. All of our projects are highly technology focused and involve many of the bleeding edge technologies that will shape the world in the years to come (e.g. cloud, internet of things, virtual reality). As such, Keystone recruits for and builds skills of a unique blend of business and technical understanding. Thus, the value of working at Keystone is the uniqueness of the firm in that you're able to get a consulting experience highly focused in tech.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Keystone leadership is highly hands-on in the problems that we solve for our clients. They take pride in the challenging problems that we take on as a firm, often without really know how to solve the problem at the beginning, but finding a way to do so. Keystone leadership should be more attentive to the growth of the firm itself. The firm lacks clarity in how Keystone will evolve into a great firm over time and leading by doing (not just goals, but outcomes) in how we will improve as a firm. We are too focused on delivery and not enough on our firm. That said, the company does care about fostering a great work environment and culture (e.g. social events, leadership interaction with associates)

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

There are 2 pay levels pre-MBA, which are Associate and Senior Associate. There are then pay levels beginning at Consultant for MBA graduates. However, Associates are occasionally promoted to Consultant or even Senior Consultant without an MBA for exceptional performance. In these cases, the compensation is lower than those who have MBAs (mostly reflected in base salary)

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Very reasonable with scheduling (e.g. working from home for a morning to run an errand), and with business travel expenses (e.g. don't have to stay in the cheapest possible hotel in the area, can order nice meals ,etc.)

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

In addition to the flexibility mentioned previously, it's the people. very humble, very collaborative. From the partners down to the associate, we know how to balance work with fun.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

In general, I think it's not as well known as it could be. I don't think it is a name known to many outside of our clients. Keystone is investing heavily in marketing and social media that will help change this over the next few years.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Very insightful, down to earth, smart

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Compensation is a fixed amount.

Employee - Senior Associate/Consultant

Friendly Humble Honest

Employee - Manager

Keystone does a great job of finding the best and brightest, and weaving those individuals into high-performing teams. Consulting hours can be long, and spending that time with team mates one can respect, admire, and actively enjoy is invaluable. Successful recruits are entrepreneurial, collaborative, comfortable with ambiguity, and are creative and persistent in tackling challenges.
