@ Partner 1 you mean like Louis Roederer is served instead of Moet et Chandon at partner conventions ?

What E1 said. Tho I can only speak for PwC right now…new leadership team started a year ago and they have been really bad. Culture at the firm has changed drastically (for the worse).

No idea how other big4 leadership is viewed.

PwC.

Ey is great, great perks, great people. I used to work at DT and it was hell. People there are drowning in koolaid. No one has a backbone there.
