Random thought,

After being in Fishbowl for sometime, I see everyone has something (or many things) they don't like about their company (even MBB, Big 4). From outside those companies look like potential employers for candidates.

I know grass is always looks greener (sometimes actually greener) on the other side.

But what are good consulting firms which is basically perceived good both by employees and potential candidates?

P.S. Consulting WLB is tough. Let's discuss what other things?

An important point to be taken into account is that Big 4 are primarily big 4 in accounting, tax and audit, not necessarily in IT consulting, which many choose to overlook while judging Organizations.

Of course the work environment and overall culture would be superior to let's say WITCH, with all due respect.

For someone who works on SAP, Deloitte and Accenture are the market leaders in terms of implementation projects and consulting, certainly not EY, PWC or KPMG.

So, it would be prudent to consider your skill set and the organization's positioning in that domain when choosing a company to work for, not simply lured by big names.
