Good name for a resume, otherwise unimpressed
Pros
- Good name to put on resume - Good pay - They're footprint gets them business, results are iffy at best
Cons
- Highly bureaucratic and inflexible culture - The consultants are so overworked (no life outside of Deloitte) that they are incredibly unpleasant to deal with - Cult like atmosphere - Work product isn't any better than medium or small sized firms can deliver. Deloitte just has the clout, the money and political pull to get contracts on that fact alone. In terms of quality, actual capabilities and professionalism, the average employee there is probably less effective than you would find elsewhere. - The projects I saw were mostly corpro-government types. Deloitte is so big because they are so closely aligned with the out of control US Gov spending. It's hard to work at a place when you see that their $800 a night dinners at 4 star restaurants and multi-million dollar a month 'consulting,' contracts are what is destroying the entire economic future of a nation.
