So that decision makers can reduce their own liability. If something doesn't work out, you can always put it on the consultants.

Multiple reasons, some most common being: an outsider unbiased view, knowledge of what peer companies are doing, drive new initiatives which are too radical for insiders to get implemented, lack of consensus in the C suite, the list goes on!

For 7 reasons really -

1. Get an independent firm to confirm their "hunch" (read: agenda)
2. Augment capacity for an initiative
3. Transfer skills
4...

For other four reasons, please sign the engagement letter.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Hi fishes,

This is for a guidewire role.
Which is a better offer? What would be a good option for growth wrt role, salary etc.
Also, PWC claims to offer variable based on their fixed CTC based on the ratings.. is this true ? How much is the avg percentage given?

Thanks in advance!
