I’ll be fully honest, go to any other MBB or Tier 2 firm that you can get an offer from. The MBA role here is a slaughterhouse, even when the firm is doing well you’ll see ~50% churn within the year at post-MBA level

This place is hell on earth with terrible bonus structure and non existent culture except for you getting to bond with team members about how terribly scoped and discounted your case is. Never, ever work here if you have options

Please search LEK on this forum before committing (sorry for what you’re going through LEK folks)

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
