Deloitte’s was 100% bull. It used to be okay, but when they decided to get rid of ratings and assess folks at the offering level, rather than at the account level, it because a dog and pony show. And don’t get me started with those dumb scatter plots.

I am dating myself, but account level reviews were pre-2016. After that they’ve been trying to tweak the performance system.

Mine has been super transparent and overwhelming amounts of feedback - almost bordering on performative.

I had biweekly 1:1 with 2 team leads then a bi weekly with a cross workstream manager then I checked in with my own team 1:1 bi weekly and on top of that I'd check in with the overall project lead monthly or so then check in monthly with my coach.

Then add coffee chats and keeping up with leadership from past projects / mentors.

I was up to at least 8 - 1:1s per month.

I started at my career at a nonB4 firm and it was a huge culture shock

How is your performance review done ie someone collects feedback from the principles you have worked with ? Is it based on a rating ? And how are the designations vs firing work based on performance ?

What kind of feedback are you trying to provide? About client? Or work related enhancements?

I currently do planning system implementation at SC level. Quite technical stuff and less PMO. What are my future career possibilities from here onwards? Can I keep progressing in the standard ladder and keep doing implementations, or is it automatically going to end up becoming more are more sales oriented and less actual implementation work? Especially interested in the SM level and above. I’d prefer staying at Big 4 and avoid the supplier side.

Boutique or big 4?

I'm currently an ops manager at a big 4 in London and received an offer from a small boutique firm with 25-30% pay rise.

I'm also in the process with Accenture but I feel like I'm not sure if I'd jump just for the money but also change in environment.

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
