Ok
Pros: The people here are lovely and helpful within your team.
Cons: No over time - very frequently work 2-4 hours overtime per day and sometimes weekends without extra pay or time in lieu. Not supposed to put it on our time sheets so it is never recognised that you are doing so much extra work but you have to do it.  

There are no major benefits like health insurance or  flexible working hours.

Very male dominated with very few females in high positions. Career progression is mostly based on how long you have worked there not on how well you work. A consultant working at senior manager level will still get promoted at the same rate to the same level as a consultant doing the bare minimum.

21 days standard holidays, 5 can be purchased at extra cost but it can sometimes be difficult to get time off approved and during down time on client site or between clients you are sometimes pressured to use up any holidays you have left at an inconvenient time because it suits them.

Bonuses are minimal and based on a rating that you are given at the end of the year. The main things taken into account for this is extra curricular invlovement - e.g charity work in the main office and extra innitiaves. However it is generally only possible for people based out of the office and not on client site to take part and those people would be a lot less busy than those on client site. So basically being 'on the bench' not doing much work but being able to get involved in charitable and extra curricular activities and leaving at 5.15 on the dot every day will get you a higher bonus and rating than being on a client site working 14 hour days plus weekends.

Developers within consulting get paid the exact same as general consultants which is ridiculous. A lot of the development work is very niche and these positions work the most hours yet receive the same pay as the consultants who create power points on a daily basis.

Deloitte digital employees are paid the same as deloitte consulting and have the same over time rules even though the work being done within each section is completely different and digital is far more demanding and requires a lot more training and expertise.
