Coming from a science background, hearing about all the ethical obligations we supposedly have, and then navigating this issue is the thing that most makes me want to leave Deloitte. Working in "the industry" the scientific method was valued and people actually wanted to know the truth rather than validate some executive's hunch. Sure, that happened on occassion, but being an actual employee made it easier to stand your ground when it did.

As a fellow Dbag, I think the problem is the firm downplays technical/domain mastery, in favor of salesy hand-waving that brings in the big bucks. Even if you're not selling, your eyes are trained in the higher ups that do, and it's natural to emulate them.

When there is no north star beyond sales, this is what happens.

I used to do SETA contracting where your whole job was puncturing holes in executive fantasies in a sense. So truth telling was fully expected.
