Mekko Graphics or ThinkCell? Why?
1
Didn’t get promoted and thinking of leaving Deloitte for the next level at Guidehouse. It’s a title bump so I would get a raise, but I’m trying to weigh the opportunity cost of going to a “lower tier” firm known for more niche services. Has anyone else been in this situation and what did you choose? Would this limit my exit opps?
Having used both, they both have pros and cons and it really depends on what you’re used to. Mekko has options that ThinkCell doesn’t (data rows for example), and allows more flexibility in layout (ability to move labels wherever you want). However, it feels “heavier” or slower, and people without Mekko Graphics can’t interact with those graphs at all. ThinkCell has the advantage of being probably more commonly used, and feels better integrated with Office. If you didn’t grow up with the Mekko functionality, it probably does 99% of what you want, and has its own “extras” (Gantt chart for example).
Well said. Think cell feels cleaner to me, but at the expense of flexibility. Let me place my own labels, dammit!
Mekko graphics because that’s all Bain uses and idk how to use ThinkCell
lol you will, we are kicking off the transition in 2023
