Deloitte Consulting

Best years of the firm are probably behind it. While the current lot of MDs started out as Consultants, it will be very difficult for people starting today to grow at a pace similar to their leadership. Limited learning opportunities for freshers who join the firm at this point when the operating scale is so big.

Bad work life balance, competitive over collaborative environment, staffing decisions are often made by who knows who and not skill. A lot of people are happy, but they do not really do much outside of work.

mostly work from home and long hours

Nothing special, everything great -

Long hours at times of year

I absolutely hated my immediate superior.

Stressing work because you have to deal with new things and client

The workload is a lot

- Practice leadership lacks transparency with poorly communicated vision - Low practice morale - Longer than industry average promotion cycles - Understaffed onshore teams with substantially worse work life balance compared to traditional fp&a; augmented with generally ineffective offshore teams - Substantially lower pay than client facing roles. (For clarity, this is not a client facing role and shouldn’t be paid as high. However, when you are staffed to an engagement working alongside project leadership providing the financial support to enable critical decision making and see that your salary is a hell of a lot less than an a first year analyst out of college, it doesn’t feel too great.) - Practice focus on process standardization and coverage quantity over quality and financial outcomes. - Bonuses are laughable (bad)

Sometimes I have to put in long hours
