What’s it like at Verizon?
How many employees does KGS have in total?
Anyone from Boston Consulting Group Boston Consulting Group (BCG) working in non-consulting - Technology/Engineering/Global Services?
How's the work life balance? Glassdoor reviews are full of "long working hours" and hence wanted to know if it's the same with non-consulting folks as well? How far is it true across the organisation?
Please help me shed some light to decide.
Thanks.

Just googled what WASP is... love how that's considered an appropriate way to label your fellow employees. Not every white person is a protestant or an anglo-saxon.
Deloitte is a frat house/ sorority 100%
Deloitte seems to celebrate team bonding a bit more than some firms. It is collegial in nature and can lead to "team spirit" and pride in Deloitte. I guess that can come off fratty. But there's nothing wrong with having pride in your employer. Coming from Booz, where there's zero pride in your name, it's definitely better on this end of the spectrum, although it's not for everyone.
I've described d as fratty and I wasn't referring to demographic diversity, exactly. It's not just white guys who can be fratty. I meant that, like, on my last project the seniors who seemed marked for promotion were socializing outside of work, frequently over alcohol, with team leadership. I wasn't invited and couldn't have attended because I have kids at home. Being older, more introverted, and having kids at home who I expect to spend my evenings with can feel like disadvantages at d in ways I haven't previously experienced.
Much of America is fratty.
Yeah I have not noticed this....Deloitte is quite diverse. Perhaps I have a skewed perception due to the fact I am in the technology group?
Kids is not a reason to avoid taking a keg stand. Now get over here and show us how it’s done!!
I'm not sure what I would have said. I've commiserated with other experienced hire mothers about this and related issues, but it's just true that I don't want to put in the kind of hours that people without kids, or dads with wives who stay home with the kids do, and d has decided to make this part of how they do career management.
My current manager and I have talked although maybe not 100% candidly. I'm happy with my project, my team has really made an effort to incorporate me (and I do the occasional evening event with them) and I will use the skills I'm learning for my next employer. I don't want to start any fights.
I don’t think people mean it that innocently
D3- that is pretty crappy. Have you ever raised that concern with anyone?
Absolutely agree that Deloitte makes it really difficult for people with families to get the same opportunities as people without families. I can’t go to team dinners and happy hours and stuff like that all the time. And i can’t stay until 8pm every night. Doesn’t mean I’m not adding value, it just means this job-social club hybrid model Deloitte unintentionally creates a very un meritocratic way of evaluating people.
