I feel like mbb doesn’t have a rep for being the most cut throat. But to answer your question, from fb, it appears Deloitte is the most cut throat or cold culture

Never heard of MBB having a cutthroat culture. No utilization targets, not competing for a fixed number of positions during promotion, close to no politics below principal level... I'd agree on the above, feels like Deloitte is more cutthroat.

@C3 do you know which non-MBB consulting firms are also like that?

funny

Can someone explain why D gets these votes? Genuinely curious as I (probably as a result of not having worked anywhere else) don’t understand what’s “cutthroat” about working here.

From what I hear - Oliver Wyman, IBM, Kurt Salmon

Agreed, D seems to be the winner(?) on that one

Kurt Salmon?

(Fyi i was being sarcastic)

How are you defining cut throat? Deloitte S&O promotes pretty everyone who doesn’t suck up until around SM, but they purposely make you feel like you’re not doing enough and turn promotions into a very stressful thing - but then almost everyone is promoted. From a colleague standpoint, everyone has been great and helpful.

The ones that aren’t foundationed as an accounting firm generally. The utilization and scoring creates this. From what I know, Booz, Atk, and most elite boutiques, have a more supportive culture

Came from Deloitte and wondered how there was such a stark difference in culture

Deloitte for sure.

Up or out =\= cutthroat
