I worked at Deloitte

Pros – learn a lot, looks good on a resume. although tough you learn rigor and how to put in extra hours

Cons – awful benefits and low pay. long hours at times

Advice to Senior Management – it is a revolving door of junior people. you could keep more experienced people if you engaged them more. once you rioll off a client that manager doenst keep an active interest, so you dont feel like you have a true mentor or someone fighting for you

I have been working at Deloitte

Pros – 1 ) Incomparable visibility into the internal workings of a variety of companies
2 ) Possibilities for rapid advancement compared to other similar career options
3 ) Post-employment clout given experience at a "Big-Four" firm

Cons – 1 ) Compensation is not in line with the time/effort required and expected of employees both on a regional basis within the same firm and as compared to similar job opportunities with other firms
2 ) Tendency is to treat people as a means to an end and the performance feedback loop leaves a lot to be desired

Advice to Senior Management – Make feedback meaningful and make it possible for someone to stand out and be recognized for their abilities without having to cow-tow, resort to disingenuity, and eat hours in order to meet minimum expectations (even if the individual is more than sufficiently competent).

I have been working at Deloitte

Pros – The acquired knowledge from on the job experience is priceless. There are few jobs that develop a sense of autonomy, critical thinking, and problem solving, as an exposure to the overall audit process. It also provides a unique chance to interact with businesses and industry leaders. Networking opportunities abound.

Cons – While there are programs in place at the national level to encourage a good work life balance, it is difficult to always maintain a good perspective because of the nature of the work. "Busy Season" (October - March/April) is not conducive to a healthy personal life because of work expectations and demands.

Advice to Senior Management – A good work/life balance needs to be continually emphasized in order to ensure retention of the best and brightest within Deloitte.
