Consultancy Culture vs IBD

by in_it_2_win_it (Monkey, 63 Banana Points Points) on 9/16/08 at 6:37pm

Started applying for Strategy Consulting and just wanted to know something.

Now i've worked in IBD for a summer and saw loads of analyst and one associate getting shouted at and humiliated by MD's...

Just wanted to know whether this also occured in Strategy Consultancy? (McKinsey/Deloitte/LEK/Oliver Wyman etc)

Or are Strategy Consultants more "friendlier" down to earth people?

You must've worked at Wachovia... I've been exposed to a lot of bank cultures and have found unpleasant behavior very rare; yelling and shouting mostly stems from people who are pissed off at the world because they have to work at Wachovia.

hahaha. So what happens when GS is taken over by Wachovia? Would GS employees feel the same way?
