Sorry OP, I meant to follow up on your previous post. Am not in HLS but would be happy to answer questions about the firm. I'm sure others will chime in

OW1: Thanks. I specifically wanted to know what kind of projects HLS folks work on. But from a firm perspective how's your experience? How long have you been at OW?

I have been with the firm for only a year, although I know a few people here on FB who have been around way longer who will hopefully jump in the conversation to give you a better perspective. My experience has been that it is a pretty laid back firm in terms of its culture (not of the work ;) ). People tend to be very nice and to work well in teams, not too much disfunctionality. I am in FS and what sets OW apart from many other firms is the fact that our engagements are a bit more on the technical side but I wouldn't be able to tell you how it is in HLS. I really like working here, it's by far the best work environment I have experienced.

Thanks! That's great that you've had a great experience at OW. I've had a pretty good experience at Deloitte myself. But now want to try out something new- more aligned with my professional interests. What kind of technical focus do you have? My perception is that OW is primarily FS heavy, is that correct?

Deloitte here as well - I hear OW pays pretty well.
