Deloitte reviews

Have you ever noticed that Deloitte wins "Best Places to Work" in the industry's most prestigious business publications? What's interesting about this is they never share how much they paid for this accolade, or considered actually letting employee's perhaps nominate the company for such awards? If you randomly polled Deloitte employees from around the U.S. of every title, department, and tenure, I can assure you the coveted title of "Best Places to Work" wouldn't be awarded to Deloitte. It would be awarded to Ben & Jerry's or Pottery Barn.

The way promotions and recognition work at Deloitte actually seems to incentivize managers and leaders to blame any weaknesses in delivery on their staff, and encourages staff in general to throw each other under the bus. A lot of the evaluation is entirely subjective and if your manager is “throwing you under the bus” to cover up their own deficiency it will affect you. There really is not a lot of factual visibility into the skills and performance of individual team member, which means it’s very easy for a boss you don’t click with to give you bad reviews even if your client and colleagues love you and you are delivering. Deloitte is a popularity contest where being liked is more important than delivery in the eyes of the firm. Emphasizing the wrong thing. Not a good place for an experienced hire who is used to being evaluated based on customer delivery and keeps their heads down to let the work speak for itself. This is a place where kissing up and being liked is much more important than competence
