Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

2.5 years Sr. Consultant at Deloitte
Pros: 1- Name / brand
2- Training even though Deloitte University (DU) leadership center/training is sooooo over-rated. Rooms are first class food is good and plenty.
Cons: 1- Deloitte hires experienced and qualified people into a lower level than other big 4s
2- Deloitte benefits are great but good luck using all your PTO without being penalized by year end. Work-life balance is bad. You have to work at least 45+ hours a week to meet your targeted work hours. This does not include other internal Firm work.
3- Deloitte pay is low compared to industry and considering the other non-client/ Firm contributions such as proposal work you have to do and trainings you have to give
4- Career growth is very slow and is basically based on if they 'like' you or don't 'like' you. It's not based on your actual work and experience. 
5- Performance reviews are based on  'quota' set for each project. That is how many will receive a 2, 3,4, or 5 rating at the end of the year. Performance reviews are top-down and not based on a 360 review which I believe is not fair.
6- You pay for commuting to client-site while on a project. My commute on some projects cost me over $575 a month which are non-expensable/re-reimbursable 
7- Politics as it is in almost all other organizations/corporations
8- You're assigned on projects based on who you know and not what you know. I was lucky I never sat on the bench/beach but that I believe is unfair.
