In middle-year general meeting: "Everything is going very well, as expected, business is growing, margins are good..."
End-year personal bonus/salary review meeting: "We have had a catastrophic year, it is very bad, we didn't attend our objectives, all your teammates are going to have, on average, a very small return...."
Same. Always.
"We have a worldwide network of |*place a keyword here*| experts with a deep experience in your industry..."
|*list of keywords*|:
- Robotics
- Artificial Intelligence
- Machine Learning
- Big Data
- Small data, human unlearning, artificial delivery intelligence, robotics by VBA...
I’ll start: you will have short projects and see many different industries!
Wow. I’ve been at 9 different companies
Lie: We’ll train you
IRL: we’re all just making this up as we go 🤷♂️
“Work-life balance"
😂 such a myth
"You'll have a variety of work and can choose where you'd like to specialize later."
Lol
Epic joke
We value diversity
@A5, not even the fat white man at my workplace. Everyone seems to be athletic build, always in good shape
We're working with cutting edge technologies. Now finish up that VBA macro.
yes, technologies that make you want to cut yourself. your fault for not asking the clarifying question.
“You’ll be a consultant”
I am a code monkey
Have boring meeting, with boring manager Rob
Your contribution matters.
You can have boundaries on work
Biggest joke ever
You will get to travel internationally to work on our global clients
I agree with PwC 1. It is a big lie for all BIG4. And it is easy to understand why: in the context of consulting companies with more than 100k employees, everything is organised in a way that we have people with the same competencies placed in each country (everybody is replaceable). Son when a project requests a specific skill, it is always less expensive to take a local consultant than paying very expensive business trips to have the same consultant coming from abroad.
We value growth mindset—you don’t have to be perfect, all that matters is commitment to improving
Except when you get up or outed
You'll make partner in a year. We can't bring in direct admit partners to this group.
:( toughest comment on this post imo
you get to “own your career” and that the company is highly entrepreneurial
The firm values work life balance and you will be able to go wherever you want.
You're partner material. You'll make partner one day!
Short for: work you ass off, don't push back, maybe you'll make to to Director one day if you're lucky
You’ll work on strategy projects
You will work with really smart people - some projects make me feel where I am stuck
