Agressive growth plans in India

Cons

Appraisal process could have been better

Advice to Senior Management

Could be more sales focussed

Pros

Nice people around. Nice workable atmosphere. Good food and cafeteria.

Cons

Management knows that they need to hire people every year in a high attrition market. So they lie all and everything about their profiles and come to campuses in India e.g. IIT, DCE.

The information shared about profiles is so false, vague and broad that you may get hired for a strategic client interacting management consultant profile and a serial coder doing nothing but coding and testing on the same kind of job description.

That's my personal experience post which i resigned in few weeks and went to another company which was ethical and honest.

Advice to Senior Management

Please look at your India Management and especially HR and improve the standards of professional ethics.

7) Good appraisal/performance measure system.

Cons

1) Lot depends on people you work with..(if they hv started thr career with deloitte you are in heaven,otherwise it depends)
2) location..for localites..could hv been in a more accessible.
3) Too many things to look out for..need to handle lot of things simultaneously.

Advice to Senior Management

1) Sessions with project team to know more(not just statuses)..its already thr but not all practise.
2) Incorporate firm activites/engagements with more approval from project seniors.sometimes it is quite restricting.

Pros

work life balance is great coz there isn't much to do.
they throw a lot of parties but that is at the expense of your annual bonus
people at your level tend to be like minded so it's fun

Cons

no communication from management aobut ratings and why they have given you each rating
the compensation review process is very secretive and too long

Pros

Good Work and life balance.
Work from home

Cons

You manager and the delivery manager doesn't care abput what is happening in the project as long as you are able to handle all the issues
More focus on firm initiatives
Networking is the only thing you need to survive and go up the ladder

Advice to Senior Management

Talk to the people on the floor else it will be difficult to retial the people

Pros

There is not strict hierarchy and the organizational stucture is flat so people in the upper management are very accessible. The trainings and activites within the organization is a big plus to enhance skills in any area. The infrastruture and the investments made for the employees comfort is wrh appreciation. The mentoring methodology follwed at the Deloitte is unique because the person who offers cunselling is not the employee's boss and the thus the feedback is given as an outsider and people are open to receive the feedback more objectively. The pays and perks are good when compared to the other companies in the Indian sector. The knowldege forums and respositories are and add-on to all the above mentioned benefits.

Cons

Competition is stiff and people often override the rules of the book in order to be in the spotlight. The work culture of Deloitte is a little laid back and people need to a little proactive. I guess most of the professionals feel tired because of the stringent deadlines they perate within but these timelines are not shown in the books.

Advice to Senior Management

They should put themselves in the shoes of the people at the lowest level and entry and then see how their decisions affects them and whether they are achieveing the mission they started with.

Pros

Good work environment. Openness. Brand name and decent oportunities to learn and grow. Self driven career. Excellent support system through counselor counselee relationship to grow career.

Cons

Differentiation between US and Indian employees. Preferential treatment and attitude when it comes to roles and responsibilities. Roles not based on profiles rather based on networking skills. But this is not really a downside as this is how the consulting industry work at the end of the day. Your growth is not based on your work but more about how many people think your work is good, how many people know you and basically all about visibility. You need to blow your own trumpet. This is not a place for those who would prefer to do thier work and let their work do the talking as its more around do you job and blow your trumpet.

Advice to Senior Management

Nothing
