Real talk- which Big 4 GENERALLY has the best culture? I know it depends on projects/areas but what has been everyone’s experience when factoring in progression and feedback, client assignments and career development teams?

Deloitte has most apply for mental health or stress leave

helpful

I was in Deloitte for 4 years. Generally, quite stressful and there is some kind of brownie points for being rude to junior team members. Never understood why is it hard to just be nice to a fellow colleague.
EY people are much nicer on the surface, but there are enough cliques to get trapped in. However, overall stress level is lower. A big reason is how one is treated by the boss and two there aren't as much crazy push to contribute to multiple initiatives outside of client work. It is required, but expectations are more sane

smart

At KPMG it really depends where you work, but having been at EY for 2.5 years and PwC off and on on a subcontract basis, I can tell you KPMG is truly the kinder gentler of the BIG4 and makes an effort to be the company they portray in the marketing and rah rah videos.

Between D and PwC, I found PwC better in terms of growth and team support. More down to earth.

Will an MBA set me apart? I have a BS in Marketing from top 15 undergraduate business program with a 3.8 gpa, 2 years work experience (3 by the time I’d enroll), and scored in the 63rd percentile on the gmat. This qualifies me for an average business school (ranked below ~50). My goal is to move into a management position within the next 5 years and eventually move into a director or c-suite role. At your companies, do most upper-level marketing employees have an MBA? Is it from a top school?
