What are some indicators of a good vs bad tech/data consulting team? I'm at a firm that's made of mostly management consultants, but on the data team, which includes ~10 people. It feels super unorganized without much direction and I'm getting more and more annoyed by the day with my manager who leads the team. Feel like I'm just seeking further validation but want to try to see the positives of this.

“It feels super unorganized without much direction” is a good indicator that it’s a bad team…

More interesting is WHY is it a bad team and what would it take to fix it, but that would require more detail. Like families, the good ones look similar, but there are infinite ways and reasons for them to be bad. Some have a quick fix (e.g., remove a bad team member), other times a hard fix (e.g., team culture and processes need to be revamped), and in some cases no fix (e.g., the team is hired to do something which is actually not possible and the team problems are a red herring and really project should be abandoned)

I’d look more into the management consulting side.

If there isn’t a data culture and an understanding of analytics in the firm, then your data consulting team is going to suck.
