I think there's a cycle of consultants getting senior, being tired of the higher ups commission and starting their own little consulting company. This company is small, efficient and friendly for a while, but it grows because everyone wants more money or it is sold to someone else. So eventually it becomes another one of those meat grinders and the cycle continues.
