Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Great culture, equal opportunity employer but a lot of politics to deal with
Pros: Exposure to clients and business environments is fantastic. Deloitte is not seen as a great pay master but at least 2-3 years of experience at Deloitte is great on the CV.  Paid parental leave is significant for Manager and above. Deloitte is highly respected in the industry, so the business card will take you places.
Cons: A hell lot of politics to deal with, especially between Partners. You need to have alignment to key senior folks who will watch out for you and take care of you. If you are unlucky to be in a position where you are "orphaned" it is hard to navigate the organisation. One has to spend a lot of time building relationships, watching one's back and dealing with the politics.
