Any experiences with Gartner consulting? Is it better than the toxic Big 4 - Accenture world?

Worked there and still in the bowl. They’ve just gone thru several rounds of layoffs and restructure. Issues over lack of AI strategic vision from CEO Gene. Generally consulting is mapped by the global lead to mirror his McK days. Org is matrixed. Hundred of people report to regional VPs who can hire and fire you at whim. “Partners” are total revenue centers, where all else exist to support them. You’re constantly competing with Sales who are the actual revenue and the Analysts who are the talent behind the brand. Just different forms of toxic to answer your Q but happy to discuss more.

I also worked at Accenture and would totally go back to ACN in a heartbeat over Gartner.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
