I've been given offers from both Strategy& and FTI (Economic and Financial Consulting) in their London offices and I'm unsure on how to proceed
Things I'm considering are: B-School applications, exit opportunities and level of work (top tier clients or not...)
If anyone also has any insight on Strategy& work culture, that would be great!

I just did a database search at Booth for both firms and on gross people here, Strategy& wins by a huge multiple. I don't know how that compares to number of applicants from each firm, however.
Strategy& definitely works with top tier clients and is considered a solid tier 2 firm. FTI doesn't recruit at Booth, so I'm not sure about them. Also can't help you on the culture front.
if it was name alone Strategy& commands a lot more respect here
Strategy& without question. Globally a far more respected player. Unless you wanted to look at turnarounds in particular, which FTI are known for.. go for Strategy&.
Definitely Strategy& due to its Booz&Co heritage. From a culture perspective: - Is now part of a Big 4, so its addressable clients list is limited to non-audit only - Has its own recruitment process, salary bands. However, they have standardized level titles to PwC's - Staffing would be on a demand basis meaning you could be staffed on any project PwC sells - Engagements are heavily focused on Operational Consulting of a strategic nature such as outsourcing and SCM - Much higher rates, but lower than MBB. I'm not sure if they are able to command their rate card, dependent on the market and sector.
