GLOBAL WRONGNESS ADVISORY

Careers

Build Your Career on the Mistakes of Others.

Fourteen thousand professionals advise the most confident people in the world that they are incorrect. We are hiring, because the work is not slowing down. Neither are the people generating it.

We have been hiring continuously since 1970. Several of those hires are still in the meeting they joined for. Attendance is noted.

Our Culture

The Culture, as Ratified

Culture at YDIAW is not an accident. It was drafted, circulated, revised in tracked changes by fourteen stakeholders, and approved in a version that can no longer be located. What follows is the culture as ratified.

We maintain a collaborative environment in which every voice is heard, minuted, and overruled. Our hierarchy is flat, comprising eleven levels, each of which is the important one. Professionals at every level enjoy direct visibility into leadership’s calendar, where availability may be observed but not used.

We believe our people do there best work when they are certain, and we protect that certainty from evidence at every stage of the engagement lifecycle. We celebrate failure, provided it is a client’s. We hold ourselves accountable through a review process that has been under review since 2021.

Selection

Our Hiring Process

Five stages. Rigorous, structured, and wrong.

Apply

Your application is received, acknowledged, and filed under a different name.

Screen

A recruiter restates your resume back to you and asks whether that sounds right. There is no correct answer. That is the assessment.

Panel

You will meet six interviewers who have not met each other. Consensus is reached later, without you.

Offer

Extended verbally, in a meeting, incorrectly. The compensation figure contains our signature arithmetic.

Onboard

Day one covers days two through four. Your badge will display a name adjacent to yours. Keep it. Correcting it opens a ticket.

Average time to hire: 6 weeks. Average time to regret: not tracked, by policy.

Total Rewards

Benefits

Compensation is competitive, benchmarked annually against a firm we invented for this purpose.

Time Off

Unlimited PTO. Approval required from a committee that has never convened and, per it’s charter, cannot.

Dental

Provided through our Regional Dental Chain client, an AI-first organization. Diagnosis is inferred. See the case study.

Retirement

A 401(k) with employer matching. Contributions are matched to a plan. Confirming which one constitutes an engagement.

Development

An annual professional development stipend of $800, redeemable exclusively against one hour of our own heritage consulting.

Comprehensive coverage effective after your first billable error. Most associates qualify by lunch.

Parental Leave

Generous, fully documented, and described in a policy nobody has located since the 2019 migration.

Benefits are subject to change, and have been, several times, without announcement. No refunds.
