Not surprised but I’m not one to do it. I’ve already come across a couple of SM’s who don’t like me because I don’t kiss their feet whereas other, more confident leaders enjoy working with me and want me on their projects because I get shit done and the client is happy, that’s all that should matter.

That sounds like me!! While at D as M, I was pseudo SM on the team and the senior Principal acknowledged that. Gave excellent feedback. Bias for action is what I was looking for and moved on…

I am prior Deloitte. I saw so much ass kissing. I was proactive with my roles and responsibilities, but some people kissed ass so hard it made me sick.

Partner 1: If such personalities are in abundance, then the firm is letting it grow and perpetuate, hence it also has contribution in such culture.

There’s a lot of ass kissing all around in big 4, no?

True. I’m just venting lol 🫶

It’s hardly surprising when our performance management system is so opaque and driven by personality, personal relationships, and self-promotion. When you’re rewarded with bonuses and promotion for kissing up, why would you not?

How would you say the culture at BCG is compared to Deloitte?

Not really, there’s ass kissing in everything.

If you don't give Hershey Kisses enough, your raise and bonuses are directly impacted. I couldn't stand being there. So glad I moved on. I felt bad for my friends when they just whacked everyone with their reduction in force a few years ago. Glad I was gone ahead of that.

I am at another B4 firm and nothing like that here. I came in knowing nobody and still got good raises, bonuses and promoted. Took me awhile after D but I stopped watching my back for someone to stab me.

Hi! This is not 100% salary-related, but your feedback would be helpful. I was contacted by a recruiter from Pyramid Consulting Inc for a HRG position, although the agreement to represent and job posting both say HRBP2. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience working as a contractor with Pyramid. A few hours after they contacted me, I received a communication from a very similar company, Akraya, Inc., for the same exact position. I just want to make sure Pyramid is a reputable company.
