Isn’t the entire company pretty intense / toxic ? But idk specifically

Agree. That’s what I have heard too for tech groups and overall. Also, pretty toxic & bad culture overall. Though someone had to say tax is not that bad, but not sure how true that was. But I do know that they fire people in a NY second.

Apparently, AMZN hires people knowing that they will leave in 2 to 3 years, so they squeeze you all that time.

They hire a certain type of person. Go getters. High performers. You’re surrounded by that culture. They are all really smart and probably have type A personalities.

You should join if you get the chance. Stellar team.

I work with a lot of them.

I don’t think it’s intended to be a selling point. Just an overall observation.

Should still be a great experience.

They replace 20% of their team every year to “encourage greatness”. Super toxic.

I have a post-MBA offer with Accenture Strategy and I'm seeking advice on whether I should pursue this offer, or if I should continue to recruit for MBB (which may open more doors/opportunities). I previously worked 4 years at Deloitte Consulting.

Where do people from Accenture Strategy (not Accenture Management Consulting) tend to go? Is it possible to have similar opportunities as MBB firms or do you have to work harder to get MBB-type opportunities?

Serious question, please answer objectively. Are your sales teams all a nightmare to work with? I think we all understand that sales teams can be pushy (it’s their job to be that way with clients), but I get consistent feedback from my operations teams that sales is aggressive and disrespectful.

Is it just my company or is it like this everywhere?
