Starting a new job at Applied Materials on Monday as a Manufacturing Engineer III. I’ve been out of college for 5 years and all of my work experience till now has been in R&D for start ups and small businesses . So not only is this a new experience for me going into such a large company but also a industry (semiconductors). Does anybody has tips or advices on what I should expect as a new hire and how I can set myself up for success? Thanks!

They’re all great firms. If you’re really set on prestige, you only have one option: Deloitte
Broadly speaking I would say OW is a step above but all three are good firms and each is strongest of the three in the space where they focus. Can’t go wrong. See where you feel you fit best
I’ve seen LEK’s work and met a few people. They do high quality strategy, due-diligence, BD type work but no where close to our collective capabilities across especially life sciences industry. If you are passionate about life sciences/pharma and would like to get exposed to variety of functional areas I would choose ZS. OW plays but again much more niche than us.
Can only speak to ZS. Our culture is solid and is one of the main reasons I've stayed for so long vs. jumping to another firm I've interviewed for. Work life balance is ok - avg billable is 50 hrs a week for me (senior second level/junior third level up). We only travel local (if at all) so you won't find many people doing the whole Monday - Thursday client site thing. All of our clients respect us for our expertise and partnership - but I've never actually seen OW/LEK at any of the 10 or so clients I've worked with - so not sure if we play in the same space. It could be just a fluke but I've run into Deloitte, PwC, etc. I do mostly marketing strategy work (primary MR, brand planning, competitive planning etc.)
I have "run into" ZS on a couple life science cases, each time they were reorganizing the sales force so the teams never interacted
