Good Ol' Boy and Gal organization with no training or diversity
Pros: Great career boost; diversity of projects, seeing the country
Cons: Poor training. Hard to succeed if you are not white as it is a frat boy/girl network and Partners/Senior Managers tend to develop and nurture their own. Expectations are to do team dinners every night - not doing so will reflect negatively in your project and year-end review. It is not clearly communicated the amount of time you have to work on firm activities in addition to client work - not doing so will also reflect negatively in your performance review. The training you receive will be relatively irrelevant to the work you do.  Without a mentor / advocate, you will not succeed. There are usually multiple ethics violations on every project; it is just a matter of time. I was witness to multiple HIPAA violations and Senior Managers lying to CFOs and recommending unecessary people be laid off. There is little to no diversity at the organization. White and Indians have leadership fairly locked up and even Indians fall far behind. One of your biggest challenges will be getting staffed when you join even if you have tons of experience, unless you are white. Deloitte is a microcosm of the racial issues faced by minorities in the US.
