Deloitte reviews

Employees here tend to work too many hours which takes time away from personal life activities. Also, the potential for growth within this firm is limited. If you are not a professional who has gone to school for accounting, there is no ladder of success to climb, even with a degree (I am specifically referring to administrative roles as executive or administrative assistant. I have received a bachelor and master's degree while working at this company and I have yet to have found something that can help develop my career. Not many opportunities are given to those who have come from an administrative background which I feel is disheartening.

As you move up the chain of command, you discover that your success is NOT tied to your skills or ability, but, rather, it is tied to your political connections, and ability to connect with the "right" partners. (not necessarily the "best", but the most powerful & politically influential). Deloitte's business is run by a small group of very powerful partners, at the top of the "pyramid"; where they protect themselves by rewarding bad behaviors and promoting the politicians. Innovation and "out-of-the-box thinking" are not rewarded, and barely tolerated, particularly by "staff". For them "innovation" means coming up with a new template design, or figuring out a way to charge the client for more "stuff". Over the last 5 to 6 years, Deloitte has lost its "soul". They charge high prices and are more interested in "check-the-box" work, than in delivering true value to their clients.
