In reality the model is no different from traditional "Big 4" consulting...the only way to get into leadership is to sell. At the end of the day, selling takes priority over all else including delivery. By not participating in selling, there is an eventual cap on compensation. The focus continues to shift to technology consulting (e.g. digital development, BI) and away from industry, process, etc., so that limits opportunities for "business consultants". Lastly, there is WAY YOO MUCH focus on "the culture"...feels like a cult!
