Company: Deloitte
Date: 2015-08-25
Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Good company to start career for college graduates, but long-term prospects don't look so good
Pros: Deloitte is a very good company to work for if you are in your early to mid twenties with less than 1-2 years of previous experience. 
It has a very good reputation among Fortune 500 companies, specifically in the finance departments of these companies, with good exit opportunities as a financial analyst or senior financial analyst positions after a few years. 
Flexible work hours, work-life balance is good, ambition and expertise rewarded, good training and networking opportunities 
Finally, people are great and ready to help most of the time
Cons: There are quite a few cons actually:
Highly political organization, you can't get on good projects without 'knowing people' regardless of your technical abilities. 
Some offices/practices have a very frat/jock culture. 
High focus on sales; you are encouraged to participate in selling new projects as a senior consultant, which makes people sell dumb useless projects to clients than develop strategic, expertise-focused projects to gain short-term gain. 
Finally, HR is utterly useless. They would never reply to emails and not very helpful with admin things. You need to have a partner make a request on your behalf to HR to get anything done. (Again, very political organization)
