Do all consulting firms have toxic cultures? The BCG board is extremely negative and people are constantly posting about wanting to leave. I can’t tell if it’s unique to us or if all consulting firms just suck.

No. But all consulting firms likely have a few toxic people in leadership and that toxicity trickles down and poisons team culture. Culture is set top down. We still have some incredible pockets of groups.

I’ve been on the bench with less than 10% utilization for 3wks now. I’m a first year and the past month has been slower with not many new projects coming in. I do see a few new projects come in every week but I’m not getting staffed on them. Should I be worried? Should I ask my PM if I should be worried? We’re in a pretty small group less than 20 people

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
