I work with a lot of people who came over from Deloitte and are doing well for a few years now. It’s very much a culture where you make what you want of it - entrepreneurial but more so than most firms tout, which has its own pros and cons. Cons: lack of direction, leadership, support. Pros: literally can get anything you want started, and take it in whatever direction you want. Flat career progression though- consultant level has like a 15 year experience span, so come in higher if you can cause you’ll prob stay there for a bit

If you want to meet a bunch of generally social, extroverted colleagues, and work on a diverse set of projects with different clients it can be a good place. If however you’re looking for career growth and salary progression, it really isn’t the right place to be. The bulk of folks generally leave for those reasons. Career progression and moving up the ladder is a big political game and causes frustration for a lot of people.
