I work in a firm that completes with Mu-Sigma for business as an analyst. So my take on the same is as follows
- Every B school is looking for diversity in their batch profiles. This is based on people with different experiences bringing different view points to the classroom. With a analytical background (which fewer people have) instead of a software background (a much larger group of applicants) the odds of being selected in a B school interview are a little better. This does not mean that software is in any way a bad choice. If you are good you can excel in any company and that is what schools are looking for.
- Chances are that the work would be based on statistics and other mathematical models using client data. If your work keeps you using maths and you ensure that you do calculations in your head when you can, it might give you a edge in the quant sections. One thing I felt in the last CAT was that working with large data sets can help you get a feel for numbers. (approximations)
- As already mentioned, consulting hours might be higher on average with respect to IT but these are AVERAGES. There are outliers and it depends on your particular case. You could possibly get staffed on a light project in Mu-Sigma and you could possibly get staffed on a project that has gone crazy at CTS. But in line with the above two points, your odds of getting staffed on a project working 13 hours are a lot higher.
That said, its your call completely.

what say puys??which 1 is better..for a pre-mba case..??please do opine..
Hi Deepak and other contributors,
I have 6.5 years of work experience spread across 4 companies. My last stint of 4 years was with a world class MNC. I am an engineer and have an MBA degree from a school in the top 10 list. Apart from my regular job, I taught CAT students at IMS and TIME and would have spent hundreds and hundreds of hours teaching over a period of 5 years. In the last 2-3 years, I have concentrated only on teaching and interviewing candidates at B schools in my plus time and have visited a ton of schools in the capacity of guest/part time faculty. I have also been working at Mu Sigma for the last 6 months.
Ive had vast experience coaching students vying for MBA seats and then interviewing them on behalf of the B school for adequacy. To me Deepak, your question is an open and shut case. Join Mu Sigma!!
Mu Sigma grooms you for the next level like no other environment does. I promise you this - what Mu will give you in terms of personal and professional growth in a year, will take you 5 years to achieve at a CTS.
The below is some of what I look for when I interview candidates for B schools, and you will see how Mu Sigma hones you there:
1) Leadership there are a ton of analysts who lead entire teams and accounts and youd have real experience to talk of here
2) Ability to handle pressure this is a young, go-getter, flat environment. It teaches you to speak your mind and handle responsibility and big clients early
3) Analytical skills Youre solving for business problems of the worlds best conglomerates. This is cutting edge analytical work that makes you push your brain
4) Is the candidate assertive? Youll be working with people from the very best engineering and MBA schools. Again, the culture and the company hone you to be assertive.
To Madhus cons, I disagree with all of them:
1) I have examples from just my 6 months here where the company has made exceptions to answer to some of my familys personal asks
2) Attrition is no higher than the industry average. The correct picture is to look at the rate of growth of the company. The company has almost tripled in size in over a year, and thats going to continue
3) The managerial and leadership in my mind is a new era in the art of leading teams. Its frank, candid, not hierarchy driven and importantly, effective.
4) There is a sea of people that have been working at the company since its dawn. I for one am no job switcher. I moved here because I saw advantages over my previous position and have long term goals here
5) I have not seen, heard or been a part of anything unethical in the company. This is hearsay and nothing more
6) You can ask anyone from inside the company. You will get a vociferous reply in favor of the high quality of work done here. Thats the main pull for engineers like Deepak
At the end of the day, MBA or no MBA, a company is obviously doing something very very right if it has a success story to write. This company has not written just any success story, its written a phenomenal success story.
Feel free to write me with more queries here and Ill get back.

can i know??
what;s the package given at both the organisation & how is the working invironment @mu sigma ??
Hi puys
I am working with Mu Sigma from 2months and I feel its a gr8 organization to work for.
The attrition rate is high i totally believe that but for now they have introduced a pay hike after one year at musigma and the pay hike is around 70% that u would surely not get in CTS TCS wipro IBM accenture Infy etc
Work culture is good, specially the hierarchy is totally flat, you are totally independent in your nature of work , work varies from reporting to consulting.
The people around you are gr8 as their background is ISB SPJAIN IIM XLRI etc.so you tend to learn a lot in this org.
Any day i would recommend anyone for Mu Sigma

I would say the working hours vary depending on the project and dead lines
Work is more of on the analysis side.Consultancy is some thing very different if you think consultancy in terms of companies like BCG , Mckinsey etc.
Growth prospects are tremendous.
Can anyone tell me about the compensation details in MU sigma they told they would give a hike of 5-7 lakhs in the second year and 8-10 lakhs in the 3rd year i would like to know if its true and can someone tell me their inhand pay for the first year in pm (strictly confidential).
Are there any onsite opportunities and will we be compensated for long working hours and is there a selection test after one month training ,
Thanks a lot in advance...

@ Whiteshdw -
1. Compensation depends on your work ex and domain knowledge
2. 5-7 lacs cannot be hike, u do understand that. That can be your final package after the hike. (8-10 is a ridiculous expectation)
3. Onsite opportunities are abundant, assuming you are worth it.
4. Selection is based on your performance cum requirement basis.
@all -
1. Mu sigma is a great company to start your career with.
2. Work hours vary from project to project. 13-14 hours is not a daily thing.
3. Mu sigma is among the fastest growing private companies in the US. Attrition or no attrition its growing.
4. Compensation may not be the best among the industry and that's the reason most feel treated as dogs. There are other advantages like really smart people to work with.
5. For those just out of engineering colleges expecting consulting jobs... Have common sense!
Hey, i have my placements for Mu Sigma in 4 days..Wanted to know what to prepare for aptitude and interview..Please help...
