For any fish that work at Riveron, what’s the politics/culture of the firm like? I’m in the late stages with them, and everything checks so far. Only concern is I’m reading on Glassdoor about career stalling if you’re not in Texas. Is that really true, is it sour grapes from leavers, or what’s the story there?

Like most consulting firms, relationships and visibility still play a big role in career progression. Dallas historically had more influence given it’s the HQ, but with growth in the West Coast and NYC, it makes sense that focus and leadership presence have become more distributed.

That said, this is still consulting—being visibly present, building strong internal relationships, and staying engaged all make a difference. Being someone people know, enjoy working with, and trust will naturally open up more opportunities over time.

They’re headquarter in Dallas. Being present is still the #1 lever for career growth imo.

The focus is NYC currently so that’s currently the best office to sit in

If long term career advancement in consulting is a key concern, why leave partner track at EY?

EY is an absolute mess right now. The big 4 are bad places to work, but EY is a special level of incompetent

It really depends on what service line. Location wise as long as you’re in a place with a strong client network it doesn’t matter (including cities without a physical office)

I will say the HQ Dallas office does not seem like a strong focus.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Is this what people consider negative work culture?
