Best firm to work for in terms of wlb and culture? Interested in ATK, boutique firms, other B4s. Don't really care for super competitive environments. *edit: industry roles for tech consulting ok too

At ATK, there is definitely pressure to perform, but I would not say it’s competitive. Very supportive peers with relatively uniform comp between low and high performers (probably 10-15% difference in total take-home). Never felt like I was competing for pay or promotion.

At higher levels, it does get more political but that is to be expected.

Last, we do have up-or-out, but it seems to be a bit softer than other firms with some wiggle room, e.g. 2.5 years from associate to manager is our “out” cutoff, but if we think you’re close the firm will push the timeline (have personally seen this).

I would assume depends more on a given project or group that a firm as a whole.

Happy to refer you to PwC if needed.

Probably not consulting. While I wouldn’t say we compete with each other, everybody drives pretty hard. Competing to outdo themselves.

That's true. Open to leaving consulting as well.

Though my current company is an mnc but not that big and no work pressure is there, amazing work life balance. However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5
