Parthenon vs. Deloitte S&O
Looking to compare these two firms mainly in the context of brand/prestige/business school placement/exit opportunities. These would be entry level / right out of undergrad.
See the recent Deloitte vs. LEK thread for basically the same debate. Though Parthenon is known to have a pretty solid culture despite the shitty hours unlike LEK.
I think Parthenon. Means you're an elite student and they do interesting M&A, DD, etc. Not necessarily the same with S&O.
Parthenon - more prestige + close knit environment
Personally I'd choose Deloitte S&O. As others said above, Parthenon is very prestigious and does a good bit of true strategy work (M&A, organic growth, pricing, etc.). However, Deloitte S&O will give you a more rounded strategy consulting experience and better training.
Big disclaimer, though. If you don't want to tavel, take Parthenon
S&O is more fleshed out. If you find the right network within S&O you'll have you're pick of some awesome projects. I would choose D.
“More fleshed out”
10/10 consulting jargon. Care to double click on what you mean?
My guess is that they're referring to the fact that S&O kind of does everything, whereas from what I've read online it seems like Parthenon is focused on FS/PE DD and education. I think the implication was that you'd have access to greater project variety with S&O.
