Deloitte reviews

- Work hrs and work life balance - it's consulting - good if you are independent, sucks with family - Internal politics - it's a partnership - see below - Partnership - with all its benefits and disadvantages. It it either something you buy into or not. To make Partner (or for that matter to progress to any career level) you need to play the game. It's like a political campaign - work matters but the "friends" you make matter as much. - The degree of politics is much higher here then at other organizations

There are always different kinds of pressure to perform above and beyond. You need to maintain a high utilization number (to be 90% utilized you'd need to work 50 hours/week including non-client work). The partner/director admission process is brutal and seemm almost inhumane (they are literally looking for supermen/women) which has been discouraging me from pursuing the next step. There is also a pressure to bring in as much revenue as possible to be admitted to partner/director. Recently many underperforming partners are being demoted to director, or directors are being let go. So you will need to conitnue to sell, sell, sell in your entire life at Deloitte. A lot of service lines are highly specialized. You get pigeonholed if you stay too long.
