Project Controller, Engagement Controller, Engagement Financial Advisor (EFA) Review
Pros
Great learning experience right out of college. It sounds very cliche, but the people you work with really are the best part of the company. For the most part, everyone is very helpful and wants to see you succeed. Build fundamental skills in Excel, manage multiple engagements at once and have good exposure to Sr. Managers & PPMDs. Benefits are excellent, pay is okay. 5 weeks PTO, $500 Wellness Subsidy, various Health Insurance Options, cell phone paid for.
Cons
I joined the practice when it still was under Deloitte Consulting (it recently moved to Finance & Administration under Deloitte Services). They sell this position as "Consulting" or being a "Trusted Business Advisor", but the truth is it is administrative work. The job is focused on the internal metrics of Consulting, Audit, Tax & Advisory engagements and you do not deal directly with the clients. Day to day tasks include auditing expenses, running burn reports, running standardized financial models, moving time/expenses to different codes, etc. (tasks that the client service professional don't want to do). Constant pressure from upper management to move more work to India. Personally, I felt that their long term strategy is to move most or all of the work offshore to India. Hard to transfer into Deloitte Consulting or Deloitte Advisory from Deloitte Services
