They have tall white people, short white people, medium sized white people.

I’ve left Bain, so take this with a grain of salt, but it’s similar to everywhere else. It’s a lot of lip service, and depending on the group you’re part of you may feel more or less “attention”. For example BGLAD (LGBTQ+) was quite active, but other groups less so. It’s also office dependent. In general though, as a non-white person I never felt discriminated against; I’d also say my office was probably 60% non-white, so again office specific.

KPMG1 has it wrong though; it’s not white people of all sizes at the top, it’s tall people only :)

Also non-white and while I also have not been discriminated against, my identity has been used by the company to cultivate a certain image of diversity that they like to portray.

I think the rep that Bain tends to hire attractive people is quite true............

Why is this? Mck does this too.

It’s getting better but still not great

A lot of lip service and virtue signaling.

Kind of a quick rant. I did a quick search through some firms websites because I am thinking of switching jobs. It is definitely clear most firms still do not embrace diversity. I know diverse applicants must be just as qualified! So what is keeping attorneys of color out?? It’s so discouraging.

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
