This is not a system that encourages out-performers
Pros: Deloitte is a good company to start a career and learn professional knowledge much faster than in average companies. The firm has knowledge sharing database, required trainings, and most importantly vast amount of opportunities for employees to work under real-world cases. To that extent, Deloitte is a good place to work
Cons: Deloitte's hierarchy structure is based on a "Class" concept. People joining in the same year are called the same “class”. Due to this philosophy, no stand-out is truly encouraged. On one hand, slackers will be tossed out for sure. On the other hand, it is sorry for those who can pick up more work and do the work more efficiently than others. In other words, this is not a system that encourages out-performers.  As a matter of fact, the firm expects some people to leave and become corporate leaders in the future, for the sake of business development.
