I disagree. Having spent 6 years working in one, my tasks ranged from spreadsheets and decks to coding java, dev ops, all forms of testing and plenty of technical design work. It's hard to lump entire big consulting companies into one category as once you get to 100K+ employees the company is like an entire world within itself. I agree that in general, the consulting arms of said companies do not do complex technical work. When you are integrating and upgrading a SAP implementation with 70+ existing systems, across 6 continents, with hundreds of stakeholders, things get complex.
