Deloitte reviews

Where to start? The hours demanded are per reputation - in busy times, you'll do 80-hour weeks. At my level, you had very little client exposure despite all the great promises. The remuneration is disgraceful - probably 10-15k less than my peers made in other firms. They pay nothing but then expect your performance to improve. They make a lot of promises, but fail to delliver on any of them. Senior management thinks staff are stupid enough to believe it's "an inspiring place to work", "employer of choice for women", etc, etc. The firm is less concerned with staff wellbeing than worried about creating perceptions, that no one in the firm really believes.

Deloitte needs to pay well so that you're willing to put up with the mediocre abilities of management. The company has too many smart people who lack ‘Social Intelligence’ trying to manage others. Instead of creating metrics on performance indicators such as retention, focus is placed on their ability to screw each other for better sales. As the economy slows, so do the interesting projects that clients are outsourcing to consultants. You are left with highly specialized grunt work for your professional growth. p.s. Forget your Work/Life Balance
