Great company to start your career fresh out of college. Stable work environment with great job security. Just started a new career model geared towards engineers that does not have utilization, however theres like 10 people in it. Deloitte hires from good colleges, you will work with some very smart people. If you are trying to do technical work and only want to "talk the talk" this is the place for you.
Cons: - Lack of real technical experts 
- Expectation of after hours work such as proposals or other firm initiatives to receive your potential bonus
- Raises are low
- Pay for Engineers is below market

Most of my complaints about this organization have to do with the way they treat engineers. Engineers are not consultants, should not be measured or treated the same way. Deloitte Federal is trying to figure out what it is. Is it a consultant shop or is it now an product development company? Most of the work and technical projects offered by the firm are real basic from a technical perspective and could be done by undergraduate college students. The funny thing is most of these projects are run by kids in their mid 20's who know more than anyone senior in the company. I wouldn't be surprised if less and less senior engineers want to work here and/or leave(already happening). You look at any real tech company and almost everyone at a higher level in the company is an actual expert in something. If you are coming in as an experienced hire with hard technical skills you will find that there is nobody to learn from and the projects aren't actually technical or they are technical but are not intellectually stimulating. Most higher level people here are glorified sales people with no hard skills. The same could probably be said for any consulting company their people are just dumber and those companies can't get people from the best schools.

On top of all this they try to push utilization on employees. Literally if you aren't billing just think "I will have to make up hours for this". Training, Holidays,  Sick days etc. If you didn't work more than 45+ hours this week same thing. Don't forget that taking actual PTO hours means you aren't billing so you essentially have to make them all up.
