Deloitte FAQ

Pros

Flexible work hours, nice people and managers, free coffee and water

Cons

The internship didn't provide much value as there were no other data scientists to guide me, and couldn't improve upon my teamwork skills since I was alone in the project.

Pros

- Flexible work environment, work from home when needed, very friendly atmosphere, wellness, dental, medical coverage...

Cons

Very work demanding during tax season, low pay

Pros

Flexible schedule, pay is good and still offers a pension plan. Company is huge and just about everywhere.

Cons

Getting stable work can be difficult. Performance is based on utilization, and as a new hire it can difficult to find projects. Lots of short term work, which means you can end up constantly looking for a job.

Advice to Management

Help employees get placed into positions. Finding that next assignment is not easy, and increases stress levels significantly.

Pros

Found some very smart, kind coworkers. While there's room for improvement at the top, leadership messages a lot about the importance of diversity and inclusion. Great salary and benefits, plus beautiful and comfortable office space in Rosslyn and perks like free meals and wellness subsidies. Pretty good work/life balance most of the time (except while on proposals).

Cons

Very unstructured orientation and onboarding where new hires are expected to network their way onto projects (which are mostly IT implementation/HR transformation, really dull stuff). The firm way overvalues people who've been at Deloitte since undergrad who only know how to make decks and don't have outside "industry" experience. GPS is sort of a mixed bag of smart wonky policy people and overly confident MBA bros. Unfortunately it really pays to come off as super confident, speak over people in meetings, and tell everyone how great you are because that's how you get promoted.

Advice to Management

Do a better job of onboarding and staffing new hires. Experienced hires have great work experience that is hardly leveraged by the firm. Cut down on "extra" requirements like initiatives and proposal work (hire more people who work solely on proposals!). Make promotion season every six months and stop asking people to be "operating at the next level" for a year before they get paid for next level work.

Pros

Healthy work-life, great benefits and remuneration

Cons

Slower promotions and more emphasis on initiatives
