Their advertised culture is a lie in my opinion, and the opinion of many.
Inside their bowl is a 💩 show.
Feels like people either love it or hate it with no in-between.
They say they are "People First" but the people they are talking about won't be you.
Unless you plan on coming in at least at Director level.

What are you trying to do? I’d seriously look at Gartner for tech/ business strategy and Accenture for implementation

Former Big 4. Big fan of Alvarez & Marsal. Could never go back

Yeah 40-50 hours is decent. If you don’t mind sharing, what’s your title and breakdown of TC?

Best firm for someone who seeks to contribute very minimal or no effort but can still be rated as an average performer?

It’s now been about a month since I cold applied to all big 4 firms for upcoming winter internships. I’ve tried reaching out to some of the recruiters in the area I applied for but no response.
