Did you think that the Big 4 domination of all magazine lists was over? Jesus, were you wrong. Not only is PwC numero uno on Training Magazine’s Top 125, they’ve been in the top spot for three years running. Clearly this is solidifies the dynasty for P. Dubs.
Personally we don’t think it would be that hard to get on this particular list. You fly everyone to a relatively large city that has bars, casinos, and strip clubs near the hotel and you’ll get some positive feedback regardless of the boring topics discussed.
The magazine lists its criteria for measurement (and, shockingly, our criteria wasn’t mentioned) so we can understand how this index of companies was cooked up:
• Training tied to business objectives
• Demonstrable results
• Number of trainers
• Employee turnover and retention
• Leadership development
• Tuition assistance
• Training technology and infrastructure
• Certification
• Training budget and percentage of payroll
Because we know you’re wondering, only two other firms made it on to the list: KPMG at #5 and Grant Thornton at #103. So this begs the question: WTF E&Y and Deloitte? Completely SHUT OUT? Are your efforts being expended elsewhere? Deloitte’s diversity trainings don’t count? What about the Deloitte University plans; doesn’t that count for something? Sorry, E&Y; the donuts and secure bathrooms obviously don’t help you on this list.
Never mind those losers; back in Titletown, you had better believe P. Dubs put out a press release. Our favorite part being the last paragraph before the “About” section where it catalogs every list the firm has ever been on for the past decade and a half. We get the picture P. Dubs. You can make it on to lists. Good job. Please feel free to notify us directly for the next one.

They leaned hard into DEI with this one.
Yeah not subtle about it at all.
Does DEI just mean non-white to you?
There’s a lot of ads with black men wearing glasses, greying beards, wearing business suits etc pitching tech and other high end services. The Madison Ave ad agencies must follow the same formula
KPMG will let you slide on Saturdays mostly, but if you’re not checking in on stuff Sunday night you will be at risk of stinkeye
Yes! “Ben” comes through! That’s “leadership.”
This is the result of a highly financialised civilisation where money plays an outsized role of people’s lives. Money serves a purpose but if it becomes the sole determinant of one’s survival and quality of life, that’s when it becomes problematic.
Gross
Choosing between attending a child birthday party and staying gainfully employed are merely concerns of the entitled. Don’t cry a river with the blue collars and hard hats who make this country great.
Those crying the loudest have no problem with our corrupt welfare system.
Even given the fact that B4 leadership tend to be exceptionally clueless on what normal people value, I still can’t believe the people at Deloitte thought this was a good idea. I legit thought it was satire the first time I saw it.
That guy is obv a virtual background
Don’t kid yourselves. This isn’t just Deloitte. This is the accounting industry as a whole.
