Anyone feel the need to alert the greater world about a terribly toxic workplace? I’ll go first - all fish here should avoid working for Marsh Advisory (specifically strategic risk and emerging risk consulting). Culture is awful, management is hypocritical abusive bullies, project delivery is always fumbled and the responsibility falls onto junior staff, no growth potential, and bad comp. You’d be better off working in a real consulting firm.

I worked for IBM GBS and it was truly an awful place to work for me. Oddly enough people I know had really positive experiences there too.

In a company like that, if you end up with the wrong tower, it can get pretty horrific really quickly. My issue to this day is the outright denial of the underlying issue by senior leadership.

Ouf I can relate. But addressing this (unless you are already higher up) is an uphill battle. It only works if we all speak up when we should. For ourselves and others.

Appreciate the heads-up on Marsh Advisory - sounds like a lousy place to work.

Hopefully Marsh Advisory is a different arm than Oliver Wyman?

It most certainly is a completely different arm.

Lol, when did they lay you off?

Oh lol I’m so sorry consultant 3. I hope you ended up in a better place since!

I have a weird experience with KPMG India . Two weeks ago I had salary negotiation with the HR manager. He told me that the offer will be released in a couple of days but I haven't received the offer letter yet.I tried reaching out to the HR manager but didn't receive any response. Shall I take it as no?
