Big 4 folks how much of the work at your strategy practices are PMO type of work? I feel like most of the projects in my firm are just being a PMO for hire for a client project. No real strategic work a such. I'm still entry level though so just want to see if this is how the industry will be going ahead.

I don't have PMO work but haven't done any strategy work as well.. I really get the feeling that apart from few projects in MBB all other firms have just namesake strategy roles to entice B school grads. I am from the so called Deloitte S&O 😅

Hahah - you and me both sister!!

I don’t think we have a lot of PMO work. Having said that, I have only done 4-5 pure play strategy work in my last 6 years. These were 6-8 weeks growth/ product launch projects.

I have joined Nagarro almost a year now as a senior architect. However, I see lot of issues here. The company is great so far as employee friendliness is concerned. It may be rated as the top most company in that regard and that is why attrition is well within control. However, there are issues:

1. Project Allocation - allocated to projects without fitment with the role or skills. No internal job portal

2. Lots of seniors in bench for long time

3. No way to give company feedback
