Deloitte reviews

Analysts - Sen. Consultants are from top-tier universityes. Managers and above are old-timers from industry from community colleges. So you have these kind of people managing bring new graduates. Another downside is the micromanagement. Since you're on billable hours, you don't get to take an hour lunch if your manager is working 12 inches away from you crammed into a work station. Basically, you're under a microscope the entire time.

The general culture is EXTREMELY CLOSE MINDED especially while integrating senior level roles. I had multiple conversations with new partners and SMs and they told me that it took them years to feel fully integrated. I came in with 15+ years of Big 4 experience and they still couldn't trust me to lead projects, which in turn impacted my utilization, and ultimately they used that as an excuse for a layoff. Another important point. They hired me knowing full well that I was a new mom with a two year old. They told me they will help me to integrate considering that I might not be able to spend an 80 hour work week. But after getting hired I found that this was ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. I was pitted against male senior managers, none of whom were in my situation and could work way more hours than I could, and on way more opportunities and pursuits. So I found myself in a really bad situation and ultimately I just knew that this would end up with them letting me go. So I took a "do nothing, say nothing approach" and waited for fate to take its course.
