Hi! I recently joined in EMEA and it’s been really positive so far. There would be differences depending on your region and your office so would be worth sharing that if you’re comfortable.

WLB is good - not the typical consulting hours (I’ve had 9h days mostly so far). Work varies a lot depending on the project, I’ve found it interesting, you get to flex your creativity and truly understand customers and then inspire clients with great ideas. The culture is still being built as the team grows, but in general I’d say it is a mix of the typical Bain culture (friendly, down to earth, fun) and the culture of the space (creative, etc.). There are obviously challenges (integrating better with standard consulting teams as an example) and there are still going to be occasional poor case experiences so I can’t promise everyone would be as positive as me but I think in general it’s a great place to be and getting better over time

Hi there I recently went through the interview process for innovation lead in EMEA (London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Milan) and made it to the 5th and thus very last stage.

Would be curious to get a few insights from you, would you be available for a chat?

Thank you. Also just curious, what was your experience like before joining the ADAPT team? Were you into product management(like me)?

Anyone joined HCL this year how is the joining kit snd welcome experience?

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?
