[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My company retained Deloitte for various initiatives. I also have experience with McKinsey consultants from previous work. Several from McKinsey were outright impressive. Conversant, intelligent, mentally agile, communicative. I say this nicely, Deloitte people weren't of the same caliber and we didn't glean the same value from them. They were more one-track-minded, less high IQ. Now, this may be bc the company that I was with that had engaged McKinsey was an F100 at the time with deep pockets and the company that engaged Deloitte is not even F500 so we may have had the B, maybe C team. Nevertheless the internal beat on Deloitte was usually delivered with an eye roll. If I had to describe stereotypes, McKinsey people were Ivy League educated, polished, intelligent, and socially adept. Deloitte people were friendly, but not as pulled together or polished, and frequently didn't read the room the right way (and because of this they might have spun their wheels a little more behind the scenes, but I don't know this for sure)[/quote]

Ahhhhh yessssss.   Look at the results from all of these ‘impressive’ Ivy League blowhards from McKinsey selling their souls to dollar while ruining the country:

Any time anyone says they’re a management consultant I instantly lose all respect.  They’re often human scum and peak practitioners of late stage capitalism who’d sell their first born child for a few dollars.  They are people with no soul and no moral compass.

I kind of feel this way too despite knowing some good people who are consultants. It sometimes feels like they're just maximizing profit for the top and "consulting" them on how to best abuse and use up their employees or cannibalize the company for profit.[/quote]
