Deloitte lacks Meritocracy
Pros: Flexible work schedule, and above average benefits plan. Excellent top leadership.
Cons: While a good place to work, Deloitte is not longer a meritocracy. Promotion decisions are no longer based upon the merit of its personnel, but rather these decisions are increasingly made upon political considerations. For instance, personnel that were in leadership roles over very large projects that ran into difficulties are promoted. A lot of promotion decisions are based upon who likes whom, rather than the quality of your work and objective criteria.  The CEO recently acknowledged that a lot of experienced personnel are starting to leave the firm. The reasons are self-inflicted in many cases.
