Update to all:

I went through the process and received the offer.

They lowballed me in the offer, I said “would love to discuss it further with hiring manager (to negotiate)” and in response, they ghosted me LOL

Apparently horrible in the business lines but the corporate strategy team may be different. Expect a strong offshore culture though - you’ll probably have meetings early morning and late night

It sounds like this is exiting client service / consulting... taking an exec leadership / strategy role at an IPP.

Cog does $17B in revenue and is moving up market. Sounds like a very interesting role to me...

Check out the profiles of the senior leadership team. The CEO and a lot of his lieutenants are European.

Just left cog and had a favorable view of senior leadership. Did a good job of dealing with two major crisis this year between the cyber attack and Covid business disruption all the while reorging the company and shifting strategy towards digital.

OP, what’s the YOE and comp look like for the opp?

I have 6 YOE (2 post MBA). TC is ~250
