What’s PIPE work like at BCG Platinion? Hours worse but less travel?

I just accepted a VP role in-house and am about to have four direct reports and a team of 10 people working under me. Some of these people are way more experienced than I am, and I’m feeling very imposter syndrome-y. Any books or podcasts or recommendations that might make me feel more prepared?

Hello folks,
I have an offer in hand by value labs and Accenture and I’m more leaning towards valuelabs. However, I’ve seen a lot of comment online which were made in 2022 and before as well that the job security is an issue in value labs and they will fire a chunk without any prior notice.
Is it true?
I would really appreciate if anyone can shed some on light on this.

Why do recruiters never tell you which agency they want to talk to you about until they get you on the phone? I don’t want to waste anyone’s time and it would be helpful to know this info from the initial outreach. My experience with this only applies to healthcare, but would imagine it’s the same in consumer as well. Anyone?
