I’ve found that Accenture is probably the edgiest of all of the big firms because of its design/agency arm that the others can’t really compete with

like

I’m talking about more edgy, innovative and creative work culture! I’ve found the appetite for creative and non-traditional thinking at ACN is higher than what my peers are experiencing at other firms.

like

I have worked at Deloitte, ACN and KPMG. Have turned down offers over the years from others.

Deloitte is the most competitive, but lots of friends have been there a long time. ACN is similar. Both pay well, but they are large and competitive.

PwC is competitive and edgy in a different way but the profitability of its audit practice generates significant wealth.

Post George Floyd, each of these firms are being kinder and more empathetic. These are no longer “all out” cultures where it is all about your hours and financial results.

My general advice is do great work, focus on improving your craft, care about your clients and colleagues and you will enjoy your firm.

ACN is pretty sink or swim, if you fail you’ll get lost. In my experience at B4, if you sink then we all sink

Yes. Worked at 3 of the big 4 each had major differences, but they all market themselves the same way. Ditto their recruiting efforts.

I was thinking about all the poaching from each other that is happening. I’ve seen some make lateral moves in role and/or salary. All have networks they leave behind to have to build them again. Others say they are looking for better culture? But how can you tell in a few hours of interviews over a few weeks? Just puzzling.

I felt everything was distant and complicated at IBM, buried under layers and layers of management and entrenched bureaucracy. Consulting was just another business that they owned, not their core business.

I’ve only worked at EY, but others not apart of the big four always ask me how cut throat it is and is it as bad as they say. The answer is no, I feel supported by many people I work with. They want me to succeed just as much as I want to and they help me with that. Giving people chances and taking the time to explain things. Only as strong as the weakest link

Any insight on Brewer (either office, generally curious about the firm). I assume comp after year 1 is discretionary, rather than lock-step, given the size of the firm. Would appreciate happiness, horror stories, of whatever “firm culture” falls between the two. DM me if you don’t want to share publicly.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
