Pros
New York office and Studio on Hudson are great offices to work in where snacks, drinks, great food perks and beautiful office work environment. Exposure to interesting projects when we were booking work.
Cons
The leadership, composed of PPMDs and Senior Managers, often displays arrogance, with some individuals crossing into outright abusive behavior. Advancement and job security appear tied less to merit and more to sycophancy. Authenticity is discouraged, as employees are indoctrinated into the “Deloitte way” — instructed how to think, act, and prioritize the firm above all else. Personal life, including family, friends, hobbies, and health, is expected to take a back seat, creating an environment that feels almost cult-like. With limited projects and frequent layoffs driven by weak business performance, the atmosphere resembles a professional “Hunger Games,” where employees scramble to secure billable work simply to remain employed. High turnover and constant reshuffling erode service consistency and institutional expertise, negatively impacting client delivery. In addition, Deloitte’s commitment to DEI has significantly diminished in what appears to be an effort to align with the new U.S. government’s direction — a decision that has not prevented substantial losses, including at least 127 federal contracts valued at approximately $372 million.
