Deloitte – “Negative work environment”

Pros

Very motivated and intelligent people, good training opportunities, lots of vacation time (if you can manage a way to take it)

Cons

LONG hours, very toxic work environment with a lot of unnecessary stress and people talking trash about others behind their back, job security isn't the greatest especially if you are staff/senior, if you stay too long, you will quickly find yourself underpaid, and your opportunities outside the firm aren't as great as they're made out to be. There's a belief that a few years in Big 4 is a golden ticket to a good job in private....NOT true at all.

Advice to Senior Management

Don't encourage an atmosphere where people stab each other in the back on a regular basis; have some respect for people's personal lives (and not just senior managers/partners with children)
