Kind of dumb to represent the exception as the rule. Top 3 responses for this clown (feel free to edit):

1. “That’s very impressive that those are your highest volume recruiting channels!”
2. “Wow. So which one did you go to?”
3. “I asked about common employees during my Harvard tour. So weird they didn’t mention Deloitte.”

Also, I don’t think Deloitte hires from those firms. Nobody who went to Harvard wants to work at Deloitte.

No offense.

Assuming everyone performed anywhere from good to great, would a lot of managers feel it would make them look bad to let all 5 have a good review?
