Which consulting firm offers the best analytics work? Yes, I know that if you want to do ‘real analytics’, then being in big tech is better but this is strictly about analytics.

I have generally heard that the work in big4 in their analytics practice is very average. Heard about some boutique firms like ZS where they do decent analytics work but again, not sure how true that is for on-shore folks.

What’s your opinion to this?

Accenture has some good analytics projects and is a leader in data analytics consulting. Caveat is that you have to be well-connected to be placed on these good projects.

Hey OP, I’m interviewing for that same role right now, mind sharing around what comp I should be asking for?

Slalom is decent, but highly depends on the market (location) you're at, some offices are doing more interesting analytics work than others.

One of my best friends works at D. She told me about how they were trying to improve a companies market position as a project.

The thing is that this project was quite overarching. They got to research to identify opportunities for use cases. Then create a road map for the client for an end state where the company was MUCH more data driven. Think entirely automated experiments.

What is exciting was how large and ambiguous the initial goal was. From the way she described it, it did not seem like an uncommon thing either. It is so easy to miss out on the value addition when solely focused on the technical component at a few of the ACN projects I have been on. That is why I am a little envious of our D counterparts. Also they pay more.

My personal experience based off the firms I've seen bid on projects have been IBM, Deloitte, & Accenture. KPMG lighthouse I heard is also good.

Yes, those companies have the typical boring 'data migration' or 'staff aug' projects but they also do a lot of interesting work too if you can get onto them.

ZS is best for healthcare analytics

Yep. That’s what I have heard as well. I don’t know about the best but pretty good at it
