Approves of CEOI have been working at Deloitte full-time (More than a year)
Pros
They offer you good opportunities to get ahead and advance your career. Work with many different teams and in many different industries. Work with many people your same age.
Cons
Work life balance can be tough. Work has a lot of travel involved, with travel happening around the country. It can be tough to stay on top of local and personal things.
Advice to Management
Keep trying to maintain an understanding with employees. It is important to keep communication open between different teams and to make it feel like there is good connection. Learning and development are a large part of this job.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Deloitte full-time (More than a year)
Pros
The training, networking, methodology, and client base. It’s a great line on your resume. The scale of the firm allows for resources that simply aren’t possible at other firms. Cathy Engelbert is a superb leader.
Cons
Expectations can be unreasonable. Consistent with public accounting in general, all engagements are understaffed. While some people sit unassigned, others are working long hours. Too much reliance on third year professionals to provide feedback to management about staff.
Advice to Management
I enjoyed my time at Deloitte.
Take a moment to evaluate the influence given to inexperienced seniors over the careers of staff. This is often the first professional leadership experience for them. Their inexperience is sometimes projected onto the staff, and it can cause significant harm.
Keep pushing the cutting edge tech and employee initiatives. This is a great firm.Deloitte 2018-12-08 05:43 PSTHelpful (1)

Approves of CEOI have been working at Deloitte full-time (More than a year)
Pros
-generally nice people to work with
-generous PTO and holidays
-flexible schedule and working situation at times, dependent on engagement teamCons
-pay is well below industry and doesn't really coincide with performance (i.e., the pay difference between high and low performers is small)
-no bonus potential until after you have been with the firm for 3 years
-depending on your schedule, can be busy at all times of the yearAdvice to Management
Make a better effort to reward and compensate high performers before they leave. Also, be more flexible in allocating resources to distribute work more evenly across engagements.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Deloitte full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
A lot of great people to work with and constantly learning new things. If you can manage to stay and complete your CPA, you are basically set.
Cons
Zero work-life balance, especially client dependent. If you get stuck on multiple year-end/out-of-town clients you will begin to slowly lose motivation.
Advice to Management
Schedule better

Pros
Decent pay, amazing perks, great corporate culture
Cons
Hours will destroy you. My busy season was 9am-2am some nights. That made my hourly pay less than a McDonalds employee.
Advice to Management
If you want to retain your people, pay them more.
