Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: current

Overworked
Pros: -Great name
-Great benefits
-No fear of losing your job because you can stay "on the bench" for months at a time between projects
Cons: -Have to do a lot of extra company initiative work to get promoted, but this just ends up being something to "check the box" instead of people doing something they really want to do
-Salary and bonuses are tied to your rating, and most people get the middle rating of "3"
-You're expected to work over 40 hours a week
-You don't "belong" to any Principal, Partner, or Director (P/P/D), so nobody is looking out for you
-"Talent" gets to make the ratings at performance review time, and they don't know you from Adam
-I was part of the BearingPoint acquisition, and former BearingPoint employees aren't treated the same by "legacy" Deloitte management
-Employees below the Sr. Consultant level are not eligible for bonuses, yet they are usually the hardest working group
