Very good friend of mine keeps telling horrible stories of Deloitte and how they treated the Australian workforce horribly last year when COVID hit

^ This.

Those who were left behind are now getting fast tracked because no one else is left to do mountains of work. Everyone else who isn't director or above is told to work day and night and weekends with directors texting you to log on after dinner and family duties - the catch is that if you actually send an email at 3am (because that's what time you work till every night) then a partner comes and has a 'talk' to you.

Very little tbh. They are all so big that culture is only likely to vary across cities or business units.

But as a whole, the only differences are the colour palettes.

I can definitely say that EYs culture is better than Deloitte and PwC based on experiences shared by people.

Big 4 folks how much of the work at your strategy practices are PMO type of work? I feel like most of the projects in my firm are just being a PMO for hire for a client project. No real strategic work a such. I'm still entry level though so just want to see if this is how the industry will be going ahead.
