Bureaucracy, Corporate Politics, Suck up to move upwards, 'Wannabe' Leaders
Pros: None, not even the brand
Cons: Disgraceful politics and 'alwaysincrisis' culture. All leaders, from Senior Consultants and above are trained to run slave camps. You will get promoted ONLY if you invite your seniors to house parties and suck up to them openly. You will have to talk to them about your weekend plans and ensure you listen to theirs, otherwise you will not be in their 'good books', and so you can forget about getting promoted. 'Inclusion' is a joke. Managers, Senior Managers and Directors - they will give you only jargons and management hot terms to look cool - but ultimately they will make you work like slaves. You will have to work so much that you will have existential crisis soon enough. If seniors don't like you for some reason, then they will make sure your life becomes a living hell. Real shallow people. Backbiting, unnecessary PIPs, baseless firm initiatives and PRDs.. and counting. Favoritism is way too obvious. There are two senior managers in Bangalore office, one of them is a puppet (yes master!)and the other one is so old in the system that she literally runs the place the way she wants. Managers and above have their own flock (selected team members) that they talk to and get along with. Others are non-existent. Let's also talk about the Director - He's a 'wannabe', 'oh-look-i-m-so-cool' type of leader, who has no 'real' vision. We can call him 'clown' because he's funny. However, as a leader - he's the most uninspiring, visionless and non-motivating person. You will not want to be like him, because he's the master mind behind all the slave camps. Everybody in the team is frustrated and distressed. I have had multiple breakdowns during my tenure here. Every project is chaotic, no planning and always pointing fingers at the layman level employees. One must not join Deloitte for brand, you must know that it is infamous for its 'MIN-14HRS-EVERYDAY' culture and Deloitte is very proud of it. You cannot question the authority of Managers and above. If you do, they will give you feedback on 'attitude' and put you in PIP straight away. Blamegame is the foundation of the OT Team. They have lost some real gems who quit because they could not take it anymore, but the leaders call it 'healthy attrition'.
