Deloitte reviews

You have to make sure you are staffed. I have been hired during great resignation. Economy in post covid has started cooling. Signatures have been coming in slowly, project scale and project team size have got shrinkage. This would really hurt the job security in the "not -so-good" economy. It is typical up or out culture. Every year they would terminate low-performance people. In poor/ not-so-good economy, the bar would be more maket-condition, demand, performance driven. Utilization is one of key performance indicators. Even though you drive plenty RFPs, firm initiatives, proactively look for projects, you would be targeted to let go if your utilization rate not meet the target as per your level. Its a trap for experience hire, especially people here tend to be Deloitte Nice which means they just say "you would be fine as you are in your 1st year". Dont believe it!

The work culture is unhealthy. It's usual to find employees forced to chose pressing work deliveries or extenuating work schedules over their familiy and personal priorities. Long-tenured employees are used to it and have somehow survived, however they justify it for the sake of building career opportunities within the organization. The organizational structure and leadership model is very unclear and confusing. Usually you don't have one manager to report to. Although you may be part of one team, you report to different managers for different things, which leads to losing the sense of belonging and identity. It also makes unclear the escalation paths. Job titles are usually overstated and don't necessarily reflect the actual hierarchy and authority. It is very usual to find Managers, Senior Managers, and even Directors and Managing Directors, without direct reports and without teams and departments to manage. Job titles are usually given as a form of recognition that doesn't represent the actual position in the organization. Overall, it is not a good place to work for professionals and leaders with experience in other companies, since the culture and customs are very different, even toxic and unhealthy for some. It may be a good fit for very young people without a referent to other business cultures.
