I don't know, we employ a couple hundred thousand people, but it's always super sketchy and the projects I've been on you are expected in before the client, and to stay until way after the client leaves. First person that gets up to go before 8 pm gets looked at like he is an rear end in a top hat.

Sometimes we don't bill for the hours we work, sometimes we do, but we always only get our salaries. Bonuses at the end of the year are based almost entirely upon if your manager likes you or not, and the entire culture revolves around loving everyone else over to look better than them so you can get a promotion and then quit to go to a different company.

Incredibly odd culture to me.

This sounds awfully similar to public accounting. Actually it's exactly the same culture especially since the public accounting firms often have a consulting arm as well. Worse yet, there's no shortage of new grads willing to give their left nut to work there because of the value of having those firms name on your resume.
