Management Consultant at Baker Tilly
in Chicago, IL

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"Extremely Poor. First time in 15 years of work history."

What do you like about working at Baker Tilly?

"The people tend to be younger and energetic with positive attitudes."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask a lot of questions about the work and team. Meet as many people working on the team as possible. Find people that have worked their and get their perspective so you know as much as possible before accepting."

What don't you like about working at Baker Tilly?

"Be warned if you are an experienced hire and ask a lot of questions. Even ask to meet other memebers of the team and see the roadmap if possible. For me, the role and opportunity explained during the 6 month recruiting process did not match up with the actual work. Then after you start, there is little to no communication from senior management or partners. I wish I had turned down the offer and stayed with a larger firm because the opportunity was not the current state but the 'wishful' to-be state. Take my advice, if you are an experienced hire and come from a larger company, leadership may fudge the truth so you accept. If you like putting your career at risk then this firm is for you. Be ready to do anything to get you billable to a client with no regards to your background or training. Oh, and forget about any ramp up or training just don't let the client know."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management needs to disclose the current state and not grossly inflate the role and opportunity to get you to accept."

Management Consultant at Accenture
in Chicago, IL

What do you like about working at Accenture?

"Solving client problems is fun and I enjoy the project-based nature of consulting."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Either aim higher and look at Bain, BCG or McKinsey or go to industry. In industry the pay will be about the same, the hours will be much more forgiving and (hopefully) you will be surrounded by people you might trust to one day not stab you in the back while getting coffee."

What don't you like about working at Accenture?

"The people. 80% of them are self-important and incompetent. The other 20% keep their heads low and bring home a paycheck. Accenture does not hire people for intellectual curiosity and problem solving - they hire drones who will drink Kool-Aid and work until they burn themselves out."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The focus needs to be on delivering value to the client - not standing at their side as they languish through problems they are paying us to resolve. Rarely will Accenture actually do what they are paid to do. Bring value to the client at all levels and not just by paying lip service to the client C-levels. A more serious problem, though, would be hiring practices for the firm. Hire one good person instead of two or three poorly-equipped people. Paying better and showing more respect for a smaller number of employees will keep morale up, turnover low, and improve the overall quality of the business."
