Looking for insight from 🐠 at Simon Kucher. Had a recruiter reach out and am going to speak with the Head Partner of one of their practices in Atlanta. Curious any feedback on culture, types of projects, comp, opportunity within the firm, etc. How does it compare to big 4 / ACN? Would be coming in at manager or director level.

From my perspective, culture is very strong. For example, I accidentally put 0s instead of 3s into our project health tracker (meant to monitor WLB, stress, etc.) and I got a call from the head partner on the project ~30 min after results went out checking in to make sure everything was okay and to see if there was anything he could do to make things better. Good amount of events (pre-covid) as well and we typically were only ~30% travel.

Opportunities within the first are also pretty good. Growing very quickly (+15% YoY revenue growth) so plenty of room for advancement. Work is primarily focused on pricing / growth strategy (but across all industries - tech to old school industrials) so I'd make sure you're interested in this type of work if it's not what you currently do.

Culture is pretty chill, projects are mostly pricing (assume you join Americas division in ATL, you get to work on some interesting industries), comp is so so depending on which level you get hired in.

Hi All,

Should I connect with my current hr to negotiate? Cause I tried convincing the new hr to share the offer letter of DOJ after 3 months but she is not in the favour of that.

I have received an offer from KPMG Global Services, HR said there will be 10-20% yearly bonus apart from fixed CTC. But % numbers are not mentioned in the offer letter, Just they mentioned it as " You will be eligible for Performance bonus as per the company policy".

When I checked with HR for bonus % is not mentioned in the offer letter, she said... its not mentioned for everyone. 10-20% is common across all employees.

Is this okay ? OR anyone have their bonus % in the offer
