Great culture, everyone is very helpful and will take the time to help you if you ask. Hours aren’t bad at all, ~50 per week. Note that experiences likely differ based on team/space. But my experience as an associate has been great

I am a fan

Great culture. Joined out of college, have been here about 3 years. Found a practice I really enjoy, was able to network at internal events to get on projects I like/am good at, and have a reliable team. Not as much travel compared to other firms which I personally prefer due to family at home

Consultants usually help manage projects, lead execution, and have some role in BD

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?
