Deloitte Really Broke Me
Pros: - Well-being perks are fantastic
- Endless opportunity to travel which comes with hotel points and airline benefits
- Competitive salary
- Working alongside intelligent people and industry luminaries
Cons: - Deloitte’s culture includes long hours and high expectations. While it’s true that some projects might be better than others, they tend to hire type A personalities who put in long hours and this rubs off on others. Misery likes company.  Suddenly you’re all up all night working on things that at the end of the day, could have waited. For instance, I had a manager who would call me early on Saturdays for things that could have waited until Monday. But, I still answered the calls because it’s hard for me to say no. Leaders will say things like “if I email you at night, I’m not expecting a response that same night.” But at the end of the day, we are going to respond because that is who we have become and we want to impress you. Plus, if you don’t need a response that night, then PLEASE wait to send the email until the morning. 
- The travel loses it’s glam. It takes a certain kind of person to live out of hotels, airports, and be away from family.
