Good Benefits/ Bad for Experienced Hires
Pros: This is a good company to work for if you are coming out of college. It will set up a good career foundation. As an experienced hire, Deloitte is only good for a name on your resume. Stick around for three years and then move on to something better. You will get a lot of interviews with this company on your resume. Deloitte also has great benefits.
Cons: Never trust anything that the recruiter says. You will work 55+ hours a week and this is a giant corporation that doesn't care about you. This practice is not unusual for larger firms, but a lot of people seemed surprised by the hours and lack of respect after they join. As an experienced hire, working for Deloitte set me back a lot. It is very hierarchical and promotions are not, generally speaking, given on merit. If you burn yourself out, then you will be promoted every two years; if you slack off, you will still be promoted every two years. You will be treated poorly compared to the people being hired out of college. Advancement opportunities and internal transfers are almost impossible for experienced hires. At this point it feels like they hired me specifically to do a single job, burn me out for four years and then casually suggested that I look externally when I expressed interest in a new role. Overall, Deloitte is a lot of glitter and little substance.
