In Reply To: I know someone that started there as a Consultant when it was KPMG in the late 90s. There were four levels between him and the PS Lead (Rand Blazer at that time). Five years later that person made managing director. That person had FIVE layers between him and the PS lead at that point. All of the good old boys gave themselves titles and grew the hierarchy, which is part of the reason they are failing today. Not a one of them had any prior corporate experience.
Message: Agree with sun64tun, since the company went public (and Harry was the key figure) it knows only one direction ?? down. The partners and I call them partners not MD??s, since BE never made the transition that would fit to a public traded company. All I read on this board relates ??to it depends on your MD??, so culture has not changed. Being a customer I can compare the different consultant companies from another point of view. ??I??m proud my title has been changed?? ?? Has your Salary increased? ?? ??No??. Old dirty trick, but in difference to their competitors BE is using it desperately.
