How does Strategy& compare to Deloitte's Strategy and Business Design (former Monitor) practice in terms of culture, brand, WLB?

S& probably more prestigious and better brand, but worse culture / WLB based on what I hear from people who work there

like

Id say S& is generally more reputable. Probably pay slightly more. Although as an ex client of S&, I was tbh pretty unimpressed, and I felt like like they tried to do things they shouldn’t have - as in not bring in other parts of the pwc cohort when it made sense to. But having been in consulting a few years now I guess we do that too 🤷‍♂️

Ive seen S& folks be very mindful of maintaining quality of their services and doing insightful analysis. Perhaps they see the Booz days as aspirational and a target to get back to...not sure if Monitor folks feel the same

Lol classy response...

Most of my peers say S& has some of the worst WLB of all strategy firms.

WLB is fine

Can’t speak to Deloitte but I’ve really enjoyed my time at S&. The work is really interesting, people are super nice, and the firm (at least my circle) have really focused on developing people. So I like the culture. WLB is variable as it is at many firms. On average I probably work 60 hours a week.

Just wanted to note that a lot of the negative comments come from outsiders so I would take those with a grain of salt

I find it weird you guys are so defensive. Every integration has it’s flaws, as do all firms. S& do some good work, but they aren’t MBB.

I think there really is very little difference other than maybe better pay by 10-20%

I’m motivated to speak up because I think there are some perceptions that just aren’t true. I’m glad to see so many of my colleagues join me in doing so.

I accepted a new offer and put in my notice this week and my company provided a counteroffer. The offer is lower than my new offer but I know it’s the best they can do. Financially I do need the money but I’m also tempted to stay because my current team is so great. I have 2 questions 1) when does it make sense to prioritize workplace happiness/ balance over financial well-being? 2) if I go back on my offer acceptance should I consider that bridge burned?

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Hi all,
I’m currently working for a small technical consulting start-up firm. I make good money, have great benefits, and they seem very happy with the work I’m doing, so I know I could move up quickly. However, tech consulting is definitely not my dream job. I want to get into data analytics, and I have an offer from a big company to do just that. I’ve only been at my current company for about 8 months, but I don’t ever see myself loving this job. How do I know when it’s time to make a change?
