I don't know about questions, but there are definite redflags you can identify when they describe the team, such as:

"we hustle and we will all go in the trenches when push comes to shove" - read: enjoy staying at the client site by yourself until 8pm at least 1-2x a week

"sometimes we even go out and enjoy a happy hour beer as a team" - read: the project is either full of old people or dweebs, they only take the "work hard" out of "work hard, play hard", and most of the team probably fails the "airport test"

If you notice that a junior associate on your team has over-billed, how would you handle it?

Certain things that they billed for on the final invoice, I alone handled and never asked them to do. Appreciate any advice. I’m a mid-level in case it helps for context.

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice. Outside of FAANG, what are good large CA-based tech companies that provide good pay, WLB, and culture? DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good? A company along those lines.
