As an ADC applying this summer for 2022 start, I haven’t gotten a chance to connect with any L.E.K. Consulting members and I really want to get to know the company better before moving on with my application. Any L.E.K. Consulting fish out there willing to spare a few minutes to chat about their work, the company, the culture etc? Thanks!
I had interviewed for an internship position at EY for technology consultant program for summer 2022 and got a call where they extended an offer. I wanted to know if I can defer the internship offer to fall 2022 or a later start date after summer.
I apologize as I cannot reply to a comment or DM on this platform to anyone, but thanks for your answers in advance.

Just say you had an amazing time and loved your experience and just wanted a different opportunity. Do not say anything real since you always want to leave the door open.
When I left industry I told them the exit interview process was broken and useless. So I didn't do one.
@OP. You say nothing. Think about it this way, you're leaving the company and you say that John is the worst boss ever and was the sole reason you decided to leave. They look at John and talk to him about what you said, John knows you burned him but EY also sees that he has had straight top ratings and support of many PPDs, so he stays. What do you get? You burned a door with John and every future company he goes to and EY thinks you hated your experience so will not consider you for other positions, what exactly do you gain?
Thanks D1, excellent advice. Taking your point a bit further-- what if I entirely avoid saying anything about people or biz units, but instead mention certain problems/circumstances that led me to leave the firm?
OP it's clear you have specific issues you want to address and get resolved. Here's my advice, HR for a company that has 200K+ employees will do nothing. If you want change to happen, talk to your mentor at the firm who is actually at a high enough level to care and can work to push that change if it's important enough. Your comments in employee departure folder 500,103 will not do anything except leave a paper trail of your unhappiness at the firm.
Agreed. Do not burn any bridges.
Ditto @D1. Where you going?
Tell them you did not feel partner-track was mutually beneficial to either party at this time. But you love the company and the people.
So what happens if he say certain people sucked? Assuming they really sucked
Thanks for the thoughts-- definitely dont want to burn bridges with PwC, but D2's comment above hits the nail on the head. What do I say, if anything, about the people and experiences central to my decision to leave the firm?
Be honest not disrespectful.
