good basics

This book asks each of the top consulting firms to answer a set of questions about what their firm is like. As expected, the answers are biased, but still helpful. For a more unbiased insider's view of each firm also try the Vault Guide to the Top 50 Consulting Firms, which also ranks the leading consulting firms based on a national reputation survey.

Good guide, but the Vault guide to consulting firms is significantly superior in my opinion.
The Harvard Business School Guide to Careers in MC.

The indispensable career guide to the management consulting industry. Updated and improved for 2001, this book contains a wealth of information about the top management consulting firms. This book is based on a questionaire sent to these fims about what their firm does, the recruiting policy. This is a usefull book for anyone applying for jobs at these firms. My only critism, is that the book is light on technology consulting. This is a shame, expecially given that this area is the largest part of the consulting market.
Excellent and informative

While many career guides are very sparse and rather dry because they are mere listings of companies and other boring facts. However, HBS Guide to Careers in Management Consulting (new and updated) once again provides very valuable information for anybody, particularly recent college and MBA grads, to help pick the right management consulting career.In addition to company profiles, there are also occupational profiles that are very well written, in a manner that is consistent with the high quality that the HBS books are known for.Furthermore, a great resource to accompany this book is the Vault.com Guide to Consulting (they also have one on Case Interviews). Both of these books, combined cover all of the major issues in finding the right consulting position if that's the field you are looking into. Happy hunting.
