Current Employee – been working at Deloitte full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – HR and business truly cares for your development, and does everything to make it possible. HR makes sure all you have to worry about is your work.
Cons – Travel can get to you, and there really is no way around it. Work lifestyle is not as flexible as claimed

Current Employee – been working at Deloitte full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Great interfacing opportunities in Deloitte S&O
Can do well if you are great w big politics
Lots of SPG points :)
Insight into the operations of some of Americas/the worlds biggest companies -- helps to understand future idea of success
Cons – Can be very long hours -- Mondays are rough leaving for the airport at 4am, getting to the client on the East coast at 9EST and working until 10pm...
Sometimes your work is done for the sake of the contract...and isn't that meaningful
Beware of major implementations... Personally haven't found myself in this situation but Deloitte is known for body shopping people for 2+ years on boring implementations (especially S&O healthcare work).
Advice to Senior Management – Appreciate staffs typical very high effort and dedication... It is disappointing to continuously hear good performance is impossible to attain... This is not sustainable motivation even for the most motivated of individuals

Former Employee – worked at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – The working relationships I have formed will stay with me well into the future.
Cons – There is a disconnect between senior leadership and everyone else. Extremely complex organization structure. Too many managers and not enough resources to complete the project work.

Current Employee – been working at Deloitte full-time for less than a year
Pros – Salary is on par with other top consulting firms.
They want you to specialize in a particular industry, which is good if you know what you want to do and have experience.
Cons – Too much emphasis on networking, you have to seek your projects or you will be underutilized.
Non-project related activities such as organizing volunteers and participating in recruiting are almost mandatory.
Advice to Senior Management – Staffing managers could play a more active role to make junior consultants' life a little easier.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Deloitte full-time for less than a year
Pros – -Incredibly stable company
-On the whole doing very well in the market, very well known
-Massive set of training programs
-Pay is very good at this stage in life
Cons – -Deloitte is massive; you really just feel like a number
-Excessive emphasis on "networking"; everyone who you speak with at a more senior level always assumes you want something
-Allocations system for business analysts is broken
-There is no firm culture on a nationwide basis beyond silly slogans because of its size
-No global network; Deloitte is a series of fiefdoms in each country making global opportunities very difficult

Former Employee – worked at Deloitte full-time for more than a year
Pros – Chance to work with some of the brightest talent around. Good pay, good benefits, some training. Big name and good experience on your resume when you leave. Projects are challenging and interesting. You will be busy.
Cons – Managers expect you to put in considerable overtime. You need to work on your primary project, and also do a considerable amount of relatively valueless training and other paperwork because the company is very worried about compliance. Deloitte is not as forward-thinking and high-tech as other large consulting companies. They lack good automation both on their client projects and internally. Their confusing and difficult to navigate website was a great example of that, during the time period I worked there. Finally, some decisions were very poorly thought out. As an example, an edict came down that no vacations could be over one or two consecutive weeks. Deloitte hires many Indians, and they typically bank several years of vacation time in order to take a long vacation in India. This decision was a poor way to treat valued employees, but this was the overall general attitude of the company in many things.
Advice to Senior Management – My advice to management is to find a better way to listen to the ground troops, rather than the reports trickling up to upper management. Deloitte hires good people, why not listen to their ideas?
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Deloitte as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Excellent network of smart, fun people that seem to truly care about your experience in and out of the workplace.
Cons – Technology used is behind, spent too much time trying to solve issues that other companies have already solved. My work was not implemented as much as I had hoped.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Deloitte full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Lot's of great experience. Generally a great culture geared towards networking. Work is very fulfilling and constantly changing.
Cons – Overworked and a focus on utilization at all costs. Sometimes a little regard for your actual preferences on a project but rather just that you are available to be staffed.
Advice to Senior Management – Consider a maximum work schedule over time.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
