Deloitte reviews

Hard work or knowledge or skill doesn't help: If you're not a smart/smooth talker, you have to be a brown-noser to survive at Deloitte. If you're a brown-noser, you can get away with anything. Consulting Job expectation is like an old-school Sales Job: If you can sell crap packaged in a beautiful deck (that's the adjective a manager specifically uses to describe powerpoint slides: beautiful) and say a barely coherent story while presenting the decks with extreme confidence, you would be hailed as the best employee by your manager. If you can't beautify powerpoint slides and sell crap, forget about it, you'll be demoted/released from project and every manager who wants to take you on the next project will be forewarned by your current manager. Amazing example of negativity networking. Mentoring: New hires are neither respected nor recognized. There's no real mentoring or direction or guidance provided for new hires on the next steps in the project etc., instead you get more of the same sales talk during your mentoring sessions, which is completely useless. Though, this sales talk does include veiled verbal threats reminding you of the consequence of challenging the performance rating provided. Gender Bias: If you end up working with a male chauvinistic manager, you can forget about growth, gender bias is quite prevalent. DE&I: Diversity, Equality and Inclusion exists only in policies, not practiced in reality. Defensive approach: Documentation created or maintained during the project lifecycle is only used for defending Deloitte, not actually helpful to the customers. More defensive documentation than customer-centric/useful. Leading Practices: In the name of industry leading practices, Deloitte recommends impractical solutions to the customers. These solutions are formulated in such a way that Deloitte internal teams can get away with doing minimal work and they save resource costs. These result in complicated solutions that make the customer's life harder than it was while they used their legacy applications/solutions.

While this position is good for recent college grads … it’s not good for Anyone else. Managers seem to hire fresh meat so they can toy them around like their minions . You are required to come in twice a week on specific days but if your manager changes or quits you have to switch your days to when they come in . I couldn’t keep changing my childcare days and when I told my manager my concerns she said “ try to make it work “ … okay . It feels like one big sorority and if you aren’t 21 you might as well find a different position . They make it seem like it’s so great but in reality it’s just an admin job ! They pay you way less than an actual admin assistant but you have double the work of one . I’m not sure how People aren’t opening their eyes to this . STAY AWAY .
