What has been your easiest and worst clients to work with?

For me - Westrock (procurement function) has been the easiest and gep is having great time since last few years getting easy $ for lot of procurement work. Nicest and easiest stakeholders to work with .... that I've rarely come across till now in consulting/implementation services work.

Tough/challenging clients to work with have been many...

Easiest was a startup that existed to get bought - mission accomplished. Worked hard, but the clients were very appreciative of the work. Hardest, bar none, a very well funded nonprofit organization. My heart rate picked up just typing this.

When I was at EY the best one I worked with was NY state gov. Slow as sheit, simple work, old systems no one actually cared about. NY was throwing money at us just for fun at some BS just because someone wanted a payday or kickbacks. Hardest one was Microsoft by a long run

Similar situation at westrock... client is super easy to keep satisfied & happy with basic/shitty work GEP does that most clients would give a hard time for. Govt clients are understandable but hard to come by such cases in private/publicly listed co I guess...

Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise.
