Abstract
Consultants are a key group of knowledge workers. Interest in the work and organizational environment in which they operate has intensified over recent years. However, the gender regime views and experiences of these workers remain unclear. This article examines the organization of careers and flexibility from the perspective of consultants in two case study firms in the UK and the USA. The findings from this study shed light on the gendered nature of career and flexibility patterns in these settings and the role of individualization in reinforcing these patterns. Moreover, the findings highlight the need for the structures and policies supporting women and flexible working in these types of firms to be revised accordingly, particularly given that these measures may be recommended to clients nationally and internationally.
