Don't believe the hype
Pros: Being remote. You can put Deloitte on your resume. Seriously those are the only two things.
Cons: I was so disappointed with this whole experience. Super long interview process. Horrible background check process. You are never actually told when your background process is completed, just given a start date and told that it is pending a background check for which they are required to verify current employment, so you basically have no choice but to leave notice before the background check is complete. The company (based in India) they contract with had all sorts of problems verifying past employment (didn't even follow simple directions like using "The Work Number" and I ended up contacting a lot of my past employers myself and getting letters verifying I worked there. They really sell you on the culture, saying they really care what "energizes" you, blah blah blah, and then assign you an onboarding coach and adviser (which are team members)--in my case neither really gave a crap about my progress or experience--my "adviser" often canceled 1:1s last minute, never trained me on anything, just gave me a power point of things I would need to know. Was hired in Feb, laid off in June due to Covid-19 with no idea what had hit me--no one from HR or my team management so much as talked to me about my potential, what I could contribute, or what I had already contributed, just scheduled a Zoom conference one day where they told me I would be laid off. Severance package was generous, I will say that, but I had left a good job to come to Deloitte, was really excited about it, and then was just tossed away without any conversation. Adding insult to injury, I got contacted a few times by Deloitte after I was laid off on kind of insulting things when I was doing my best to move on. Someone contacted me asking me for my password to my phone so they could get in and deactivate it/get it ready for someone else. Another email from compliance literally THREE MONTHS AFTER I WAS LAID OFF that an item I had used a wellness subsidy for was not covered and I owed them $130 bucks. This company is so enormous that everyone is literally a number. Don't let them try to sell you on "career development" because they don't give a crap about you as a person. And they outsource a TON of their work to India which does not help America and just adds to the discombobulated, disjointed feeling of the place.
