Whats the culture and work like at Strategy&?

3 yrs out of UG all at Big 4 advisory (MC - financial services)...do I need an MBA? If not, what role would I be able to get with my current experience

I was at a Big 4 pre-MBA (and industry) and S& post-MBA. Not sure how to answer your question about culture--every team is different.

My team in Strategy& is hyper-focused on strategic thinking and delivering high quality. We're supposed to add value, but I think sometimes we could add more value if we weren't so obsessed with quality.

No, you don't need an MBA, just a reason S& should hire you.

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.
