Consultancy without complexity
Kennis Wiser Consulting (KWC),
Turbulence-free transformation
Work Life Philosophy
Our internal culture is based on freedom and responsibility.
This translates into the types of support we provide our teams. We are committed to removing distractions and providing you with the resources you need to do your best work.
Below are just some of the ways we support our employees:
Our Fundementals
Health is wealth
We’re not prescriptive about our policies. We don’t dictate the time off you should take off for, nor do we set any kind of vacation schedule either.
In practical terms? This means that as long as your objectives are met, and there’s no negative impact to your team and clients, then you can choose your days and weeks. We want you to cherish what is important to you - including when your mind and body simply need a break. We monitor the Return on Investment (ROI) per team, not the number of holidays or sick days you take.
Work smarter, not harder
We believe in your ability to work smarter, not harder. We strongly support flexible working. As long as your workload is well managed and completed, it's immaterial the hours you work, or your location. We will support you by giving you the tools to work smarrter, so that you can maintain a work life balance. What matters is the outcome being a win-win for us and you.
Family first: time to bond
We have a fully paid, gender neutral Maternity and Paternity leave policy. We recognise that one of the most special events in an indiviual's life is the birth and/or adoption of a child. Our paid parental leave is flexible and generous, allowing parents to take the time they need to care and bond with their children.

Our philosophy
To pay at the top of the Market
We calculate what the ‘top of the market’ means, and ask our leaders to consider three key questions:
What could a person earn at another company?
What would we be willing to pay to keep them?
What would a replacement recruit cost?
When asking the third question, we ask our senior leaders to consider the compound costs,
Getting More, by Giving Back
We promote a culture of growth and success, for our business as much as our people.
As an organisation, Kennis Wiser makes an impact on the world through the transformative work we do, enabling firms to deliver on their purpose and align to new values.
We realise that as an individual you might also want to make an impact in a more personal way by giving to the Charities and causes you care about. We want to do our part to help you achieve this. We will match any donations you make up to the value of £2,500 to an organisation of your choice, providing they comply with our company’s ethical guidelines.
Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity is more than a corporate initiative, it's core to the DNA of the organisation. The founder
Recruitment
We want to be the employer of choice for the most talented and skilled in our industry. That requires us to seek people who may have historically been overlooked.
Retention
We have created grassroots internal networks to support and engage our diverse populations, helping them build lasting relationships for every stage of their careers.
Engagement
We actively promote diversity and inclusion, both inside our firm and throughout our industry, including through partnerships with like-minded external organizations.
Women’s initiative
The KENNIS WISER Women’s Initiative is not only an employee resource group supporting gender inclusion. It drives innovative programs across the firm focused on developing women to their full potential, fostering connectivity across businesses, encouraging mentorship and helping shape our women’s recruiting strategy.
Diverse Professionals
We launched the KENNIS WISER Diverse Professionals Network to expand and enhance the recruitment and retention of underrepresented minorities, as well as to create an inclusive community of diverse employees within the firm.
The Diverse Professionals Network provides a platform for our people to connect globally and advance the dialogue regarding the importance of diversity for our business.
At KENNIS WISER, we are a team. That’s why all employees are invited to participate in the Diverse Professionals Network, which seeks to engage and connect employees by hosting speaker series, professional development panels and social events.
Verbal Case interview
A case interview is a way for us to discuss cases based on our client work.
Announce coming events
The problems you will encounter are not designed to be brainteasers or theoretical problems designed to stump you, but rather to reflect the challenges that our clients face. We love this format because we get to discuss cases based on our own client work.
All consulting role candidates (and some non-consulting roles) can expect a case interview, regardless of which office they apply to.
What we look for?
The approach you take to solving a problem
How analytical and creative your thinking is
Your usage of data to quantify and make your recommendations
Your communication skills in conveying your ideas
How you would suggest implementing these proposals

Interview
KENNIS WISER consultants answer potential experience interview questions.
What is the experience interview?
Your interviewer may start by asking traditional résumé questions to gain a better understanding of your background, interests and career goals. Some interviewers may conduct a mini-case based on your professional or academic experiences. The mini-case involves describing a strategic project you worked on and elaborating on the approach you and your team took to develop a hypothesis and recommendation, as well as the steps to implement the recommendation.
In addition, you may be asked behavioral questions to help us gauge your team skills and your interest in KENNIS WISER.
What are behavioral questions?
Behavioral questions ask you to describe past experiences and how you handled them, possibly in the context of a consultant skill. We encourage you to be open and specific to allow interviewers to learn more about you.
Tips for nailing your interview
Be prepared to answer the following questions:
Why are you interested in KENNIS WISER?
What experience are you most proud of?
What experience do you wish you could do over, and how would you do it differently?

Written case interview
The written case interview is a natural extension of the traditional case interview, and several offices use it as part of the consultant and summer associate second-round process.
Interview
KENNIS WISER consultants answer potential experience interview questions.
What is the written case interview?
The written case interview will require you to develop a recommendation based on the challenge described. You will receive the key questions, facts about the case and some time to prepare before you meet with your interviewer.
Your job is to review your client’s situation, present a persuasive recommendation that considers the trade-offs of each possible action or choice, and then participate in a rich discussion with your interviewer to determine how your client could best achieve results. It’s important to remember that there may be more than one action the client could successfully take.
Some consultant applicants will have a written case interview; please check the role and office page for more information.
What to expect?
KENNIS WISER will provide you with 20–30 PowerPoint slides describing a client’s situation. You will have about 55 minutes to review the slides, identify key insights and handwrite a brief recommendation(s) before the interview begins.
You will then have approximately 40 minutes to present and discuss your recommendation(s) with your interviewer, who may challenge your assumptions or interpretation of the facts in order to see how you might handle a real client situation.
Tips for nailing your interview
When preparing for your interview, keep these suggestions in mind:
Trust your instincts. There is no one “right” answer. The goal is to present a persuasive recommendation and participate in a rich discussion about how to achieve results for your client.
Prioritize. Prep time goes quickly, so put aside case slides that seem less important.
Be concise. Have your key messages outlined in your summary. Save the details for your discussion.
Do the math. Figure out what analytics are necessary for your recommendation, and piece together the required data from the slides.
Be pragmatic. Craft a recommendation that can actually be implemented by the client.
Consider both sides. Strengthen the rationale behind your recommendation by working through the strongest arguments against it.
