What questions help reveal a consulting firm's real culture?
Every consulting webinar seems to promise an open, helpful and inclusive culture. When I speak to people at the firms, what can I ask to get beyond those generic claims and understand the differences?

This is a great question and also a hard one to really answer because it depends on you!
If you're struggling to understand their culture and what distinguishes them, then that's literally your question!
“What would you say distinguishes company xx from the rest”
“Why did you join xx company - what do you like about it?”
“How would you describe the culture”
“What type of person fits well here”
Ask the hard questions that you genuinely want answers to!
