Has anyone received an offer letter from EXL (Inductis India Pvt Ltd) that was extremely restrictive and reading which felt like one is signing up for going to prison rather than get employment? No leave policy mentioned, hundreds of paragraphs of worst case scenarios, pathetic salary breakup, etc. ?

The study looks to understand the experiences women working in the field of education have had that triggered shame and explore their resilience.

How do you switch practices?
I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

I think we build on our values and got better, specially with the recent purpose conversation.
I’m beginning to feel proud of the people I work with.
BCG is growing fast and expanding into new businesses, and generally my view is that we have done very well at preserving our values and identity. But, with the territory of new business models comes challenges. I’ve been here 5 years and I worked on some of the early projects with eg DigitalBCG. (I still do.) My experience has been that over the past 5 years we have:
1. Grown our core business tremendously - with no loss of culture / values
2. Grown our specialty businesses (such as DigitalBCG) exponentially, with some challenges along the way. But digital projects now >>> digital projects 5 years ago.
3. Not all experiments into new business models have been successful (or immediately successful). This is to be expected when ANY business tries new things.
Unfortunately no. We haven’t been able to maintain our firm’s values and culture. At all.
Incredibly MDP- and PL- specific
Varies a lot by pyramid and region. But ultra fast growth usually results in some value and culture erosion and BCG (in my region) is no exception. In my office, we brought a lot of seniors from competitors and they brought their own pyramids, which in some cases forced some good homegrown guys out. And many never really integrated so we ended up with several islands of sub cultures, which are mostly bad (think favoritism, nepotism, etc). Can’t speak for other parts of BCG tho
I have been curious how Bain is doing. I feel like there are less of you guys on this app and we don’t really come across Bain when we pitch (granted we do a lot of operational work and project mix between the two firms is probably different).
Rising Star
Agreed.
Been at Bain 1.5 years now and have only done strategy cases. The culture is kick-ass too, I love it here.
What are folks’ views on other specialty businesses? Specifically DV’s place in the environment
