Culture is a lot more fun than big 4, and in general people are more authentic and humble. Training is actually significantly better than big 4, which surprised me. Iā€™m currently in an ongoing intensive leadership training and have been really impressed. The work and growth varies a LOT by market, as each is run independently. Which market?

helpful

Yes, leadership training. Agree thereā€™s a lot of other awesome training

The comment on not being focused on underlying problem solving is one that is definitely dependent on your role and market. There are markets that sell a lot of staff aug work that can be boring and not consultative, but depending on the market, we also sell extremely strategic high value add consulting. That split varies widely from Market to Market

Whatā€™s ā€œintense leadership trainingā€? Sounds interesting šŸ¤“

funny

@sc1. Are you talking about the new analyst training?

I find the cultire to be more collegial, much less cut throat, and all around easier than big 4.

The trade offs are...local only projects which mean you may get stuck doing a boring project for awhile. Also, this place is super delivery focused...and not so much on the underlying problem solving.

As for training, i know some cities have new analyst programs, and leaders get some sort of training on a yearly basis. From my experience delotte and accenture have vastly superior training. We are on more on par w the other big4.

Promotions are based on business need, so unless you grow the business so much or someone quits in front of you....you won't make it last consultant. Normal promo cycle for established offices seems to be 3-5 years.

This also hasnt come up yet....but the professionals skills of the tech and xd team here are amazing. Like tip my hat good....but that's because they come from industry

There are pros and cons here

I think SC1 is talking about leadership training available to SP and above. I heard great things about it too. Long term, cohort based training targeted toward personal growth. There are ample professional and sales/soft skill training too. Overall the culture is great and lots of growth potential and latitude to define your own career trajectory

Offer 1: Non-profit financial advisor, awesome culture, design process & ethos align with mine, but still beholden to some outdated backend systems. Basically won't be able to innovate for a while

Offer 2: Consultancy focused on spinning up startups in large corp. Seems like cool work but I know very little about the culture/ process. Very sales-y HR but haven't talked to designers yet
