-Asinine promotion/raise/bonus structure. They only do it once a year (no exceptions from my knowledge). You don’t even get to represent yourself at year-end interviews. You have a ‘coach’ who does it on your behalf (I’ve never even met my coach and probably never will). You have to make sure your project knows you want a promotion...as if I have a reason to not make more money and advance.
-Only results driven in terms of client deliverables but apparently you have to go the speed of a snail in order to fill in the hours required (40-50 a week) for client deliverables (admittedly this might be project specific).
-They give you generous holidays and PTO, but that counts against your utilization targets and have to make it up later. So basically if you want 95% utilization, you have to work 1,976 hours in a year out of 2,080 regardless of how much PTO or holidays you use.
-Stupid amount of ‘compliance’ garbage that they say impacts your year end evaluations if you don’t do them or do them late.
-Senior management only cares how they look to their bosses and clients. Or at least incentivized to act that way by the way Deloitte pressures their positions as SMs.
