CPT/OPT Friendly Consulting Firms

Which consulting firms are accepting of CPT/OPT for students on F-1 visa? CPT/OPT doesn't require the firm to "sponsor" the student (they don't have to do anything in particular except not reject them on that basis, to the best of my knowledge).

From my experience MBB, Deloitte, EY, EY-P is CPT friendly. Especially curious about smaller firms that may allow.

Thanks!
