The best career move I have ever made
Pros: Consulting in Australia: Dynamic work with sophisticated colleagues. Great respect for work-life balance and diversity. Mature workplace culture with excellent articulation and reinforcement of cultural expectations through the performance management process (see Seven Signals). Partnership group spends significant time understanding what drives staff and responding to attract and retain the best talent. Increasing trend of staff moving from boutique houses (ie McKinsey) to Deloitte. High performance culture and expectations.
Cons: Like all big 4 firms in Australia, REM includes superannuation (9%). This % must be removed from any salary figure to calculate true salary. Bonuses are discretionary depending on market conditions under the Director band. When paid to junior staff, size of bonus depends on performance rating. Directors and above have formalised bonus structure, dependent again on performance.
