Senior Consultant, Deloitte Digital
Pros: Benefits of consultancy - constant changing of projects and clients, you get to experience different industries and work on lots of different projects. Work is challenging, you learn and build up your knowledge quickly.
Benefits of Deloitte - people on lower levels (from analysts to senior consultants) are very hard working and it is enjoyable to work with them. Everyone are very committed and focused, team spirit is quite good. There are some nice people on higher levels that you can learn from and look up to.
Cons: Disadvantages of consultancy - you can be shifted into different roles, e.g. you could be working with database and your next project could be UI development. There is no clear focus of your development in engineering sense, so you cannot became expert in some area. Since the client is the most important, most of the projects are short deadlines and you can be easily overworked.
Disadvantages of Deloitte - bad project planning and management. Some people on higher levels are in the roles they are not capable to do, which makes the rest of the team having to work even harder.
Overtimes are not paid or compensated. You can end up having 15 hours work day, which is very exhausting over time. All the projects require long working hours and on some of them working Saturdays seam to be a common thing. You are pushed into roles as an expert, when you clearly haven't been given any guidance or you have any knowledge about it.
Salaries are below industry standard.
