lol no hours are Google aren’t terrible (except maybe in engineering roles). Have had coworkers go there who got bored out of their mind.

I audibly moaned at “bored out of their mind”

How can it be worse than PwC? No brainer. They could be confiscating cats and I’m still jumping

The previous head of Google Cloud consulting came from ACN and almost the entire team are former management consultants that have worked in tech- focused consulting before so clearly the entire team has had zero exposure to management consultants.
