High bench in Cyber and Risk & Reg. If you’re an experienced hire I wouldn’t recommend unless you (a) already have a solid network or (b) have some really niche, deep subject matter expertise. I worked in Cyber, Risk, & Reg and the management will literally tell you it’s “sink or swim,” and will constantly ask you to justify your value compared to a homegrown intern or campus hire. Experienced hire success rate is very low - will churn and burn you.

Considering a move to NTT Data in a healthcare consulting role. Mixed reviews in the bowls. Major concerns are bench policy, staff aug roles, 2 week PTO, and high turnover due to job dissatisfaction. Recruiter and mgr had great things to say around growth and opportunity, which doesn’t align with feedback from the bowls or Glassdoor.
Understanding things have changed there in the last few months, I need un-biased advice from fellow fish who have recently joined or can speak to recent changes

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
