Hi how is HSBC client in LTI ?
Any one got the retention offer from TCS ?
I have offers from Broadcom and SSIR . Salary of Broadcom is higher than SSIR but mostly dependant on Rsu. Any idea about wlb and quality of work in both companies? YOE: 3.5 with M.tech from tier 1 college. Working in hardware domain. @Broadcom @Samsung @Nvidia @Qualcomm @AMD @Intel Corporation

I'm U.S. based so take it with a grain of salt, but the few times I've been cross-staffed with the London team, the London team seemed to have it even worse.
We're talking meetings at 8pm on a Friday.
And even more hardcore. I met Oxbridge graduates cold calling plumbers across the UK all day to try to get expert calls set-up. Like... jesus... we have expert networks for that. How much did we discount the case for that it's worthwhile to do that?
It also appeared to me (observing their meeting dynamics) that the managers did not really trust consultants or associates at all.
This aligns with my experience there - LEK is a horrible place to work to the extent I’d avoid hiring anyone who survived there for a long time
Hey there, I work in Life Science in the London Office. I actually enjoy it overall- a lot of the negative you see on fishbowl is likely attributed to U.S. culture.
Hours have been more tough this last few months, but I chalk that down to poor case management, rather than a systemic thing.
On the exits thing, recent people who have left LS at LEK have exited to fairly competitive roles. I have had recruiters reach out for VC and Hedge Fund roles if you’re into that kind of thing.
I’m happy to talk on specific points of concern if that’s helpful :)
Just want to add because of BCG1 response on another comment. I know a lot of people who work at McK and BCG (don’t know Bain), and they all work consistently way worse hours than LEK London. Granted they get paid more, so it’s not worth nothing.
I personally wouldn’t be able to work consistently past 10 as well as travel for work ☠️

LEK 1 that sounds rough. At least the pay makes up for it
