Deloitte Reviews in Los Angeles, CA Area

Former Employee – worked at Deloitte full-time for more than a year

Pros – As a Staff (Tax Consultant):
- huge network of great professionals;
- well recognized in the professional world;
- looks wonderful on a resume;
- a vast network of people, who, if open to network, may be in your professional life forever!

Cons – As a Staff (Tax Consultant):
- partners/directors who treat Staff as crap and give you little time of day;
- limited interaction with Senior Tax Managers/Directors/Partners;
- long hours on mindless work...

There does not seem to be any difference among Staff. One could have a JD/LLM(Tax), another MBT, another MAcc, BS Accounting, or just BA in English - all do the same work! The resources and knowledge of various Staff is NOT utilized, but rather one is expected to fit the mold, as if education, knowledge, experience is all the same!!!

Advice to Senior Management – When having a Staff (Tax Consultant) with higher education - JD/LLM(Tax), or MBT/MAcc, make a decision if that person should be dumped into the same pool at the BA in Communications/English/Political Science...
