Person in my advisory office got laid off. Is my EY office an anomaly, or is this happening anywhere else ? Person was on bench for last month.

Was this in Risk or PI?

That makes sense. By senior he should have had made a network and the right connections to be staffed (or at least be working on internal projects). It was likely a combination of not being proactive on the bench and prior poor performance.

@EY 3, PI. Why?

@Senior Manager 1, I can't say for sure but I'm within the DnA practice, which I believe to be under 150 people in Seattle. And most of our business seems to be with MS.

Hey Dallas folks!

I want to get to know the local private companies. I worked at a private company with 2-3k employees before my MBA. They had an amazing culture, but limited progression opportunities. I'm thinking about looking for a smaller company (couple hundred to couple thousand employees) in the Dallas area and looking to find an amazing culture.

Anyone have recommendations on companies with great cultures in the Dallas/north of Dallas areas? (I live in the Plano/Allen/Mckinney area)
