For those in more “elite” big four groups (S&, Parthenon, etc.) - how do you feel about big four culture? Was it a preference over MBB when recruiting?

B4 culture - love the people at PwC. Everyone is very nice and really enjoy hanging out with them in and out of the office.

MBB - to be honest, we more often than not win cross offers over other “T2” like LEK, OW, Parthenon. Rarely beat MBB - though we’ve had success bringing over many MBB (mainly BCG) partners.

Included my time at Booz!

Comp isn’t half by any measure for S&. And knowing this firm, they have no problem shelling out / even paying a high premium for good talent.

What’s the pitch to move? At that level everyone has their own unique reasons. One I’ve heard from said S& was willing to give them more independence and capital / resources to build out their own practice.

And of course, we’ve lost plenty of partners so by no means are we perfect.

I loved EY-P for it's more boutique culture compared to not only MBB, but other Big 4 firms. It was a no brainer when compared particularly to Accenture/other big 4 consulting divisions. Smaller size of firm, less travel, and smaller office fosters stronger bonds between coworkers. This may change after greater integration with EY over time

Please answer if you have worked for both and have significant first hand experience about the difference in WLB, annual hikes, work culture, any other observations.

Thanks in advance 😃

I was doing some googling and I saw that PWC offers MBA hires 45k in comparison to MBBs at 70k +. Is this a bad joke? I can't imagine that PWC's target for MBA hires is widely different from MBB. In the US, the pay gap isn't that wide. Any reason behind this madness?
