Pros

Although I have only recently joined Deloitte, I have been really happy so far with the role that I am performing, the people I am working with and the opportunities that have arised. Deloitte allows me to innovate and add value whilst providing me with the support to do so. I feel that I am recognised for the hard work I put in and the ideas that I put forward. Furthermore, my team have been very supportive in ensuring that my work-life balance is balanced!

The leadership at Deloitte is very open and they do a great job communicating changes and inititatives to the organisation so you always feel included and as though you are an integral part of the organisation.

Lastly, Deloitte is really great about open communication when it comes to moving around within the organisation, they don't want you to get bored in your role and support you if you want to explore internal opportunities. This is really refreshing and is true to one of their values, to recruit and retain the best.

Working in a partnership is a little different to working in a publicly listed organisation so there is a hierarchy, it is imperative that you make the right impression on the right people but I think that this is the same anywhere.

Deloitte is a global organisation with a great network of people, most of whom are intelligent and experts at their craft.

There is a very structured career development program and personal development training program.

Cons

I worked in a small team within consulting as a designer. During my time we were gradually assimilated into the Management Consulting team, and were expected to assume their processes, structures and ways of working despite this not being relevant to a creative environment.

Advice to Senior Management

Make some decisions about the strategy for your online team and communicate this to them without using buzz words and fluff.

Pros

access to large client accounts, strategy and analytics knowledge not found in smaller digital agencies, exposure to many other disciples

No clue when it comes to quality user experience work. No clue when it comes to building, mentoring, or sustaining a creative team. Internal systems are terrible; placing a massive admin overhead on each employee. very hierarchy driven, but in a bad way. High staff turnover. Difficult to recruit talent.
