Spin City
Pros: The clients were very interesting
Made some great friends
I was satisfied with my income
Cons: Bullying culture - time sheets, performance reviews, KPIs etc
Employees who lack substance and know how to spin are promoted and paid more.
Employees who are technically proficient  are treated with disrespect.
There is a push for work to go to Hydrabad in India with various centres in different states taking ownership to get the work out. This is at the expense of clients and the staff who care who are trying to sort out all the issues.
It is not about what you know or do but who you know.
Very poor payers - staff ratings and pay meetings are all about how little Deloitte pays.
It is all about profit per unit - the management of provisions and write- offs to make partners look good in their pay review period - march to may - you try being there during this time and you will see how stressed partners are. The pressure comes from everywhere - especially from very highly paid partners who do not have client bases and have nothing else to do.
The staff and partners use and micromanage Yammer (Deloitte Social Media) and Smartnet (Deloitte pipeline of new Work) to score brownie points.

To all clients and staff - run for your life
