Deloitte reviews

Working with managers and senior consultants who dont know anything is tough. They act like they are technical and know what they are doing, but they are really morons who know how to "play the game". if you can play the politics at deloitte you can get ahead. if you want to work for someone who cares about your improvement, dont go there. I worked for numerous managers, senior managers, and partners who provided absolutely no worth to the client, other than to bill themselves out and bring in money for deloitte. eventually the client picks up on this and kicks you out.

The large firm and audit size often impose a lot of overhead and needless processes and procedures to be completed. There is also a lot of politics involved in getting staffed. The staffing managers are responsible for putting a body in a role and does not worry about your skills/capabilities, and career interests. Once you find your "niche" this mostly goes away but if you cannot find a group of people to support and protect you during downtimes in staffing, etc. you will have a hard time getting a good rating and therefore large raises. Also the compensation is below what you would exect at other strategy firms however this was improving prior to the economic crisis.
