Pros

Deloitte provides good exposure to a wide variety of businesses. I have seen many different business situations, how they run their accounts and been able to get a better understanding of the issues important to them. The best factor though is the name on the resume - working at Deloitte opens a whole lot of doors. The only reason I would suggest someone work there is if they needed a recognisable brand to boost their resume. At the higher levels, conditions are good if you love the work. But at the lower levels, no one really lasts very long - the hours, work demands and selfishness of senior management ruins your time there. But it's great for getting another job.

Cons

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.

Pros

Deloitte pays well, near the top... if not at the top. The people who know enough to stay at Deloitte for just a period are great, they are smart and are using Deloitte for what Deloitte delivers, a large network or smart people.

Cons

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

Pros

New York office and Studio on Hudson are great offices to work in where snacks, drinks, great food perks and beautiful office work environment. Exposure to interesting projects when we were booking work.

Cons

The leadership, composed of PPMDs and Senior Managers, often displays arrogance, with some individuals crossing into outright abusive behavior. Advancement and job security appear tied less to merit and more to sycophancy. Authenticity is discouraged, as employees are indoctrinated into the “Deloitte way” — instructed how to think, act, and prioritize the firm above all else. Personal life, including family, friends, hobbies, and health, is expected to take a back seat, creating an environment that feels almost cult-like. With limited projects and frequent layoffs driven by weak business performance, the atmosphere resembles a professional “Hunger Games,” where employees scramble to secure billable work simply to remain employed. High turnover and constant reshuffling erode service consistency and institutional expertise, negatively impacting client delivery. In addition, Deloitte’s commitment to DEI has significantly diminished in what appears to be an effort to align with the new U.S. government’s direction — a decision that has not prevented substantial losses, including at least 127 federal contracts valued at approximately $372 million.
