They are not the "real" Deloitte. You will not get the same pay, same benefits or work life balance. They will grade your performance based on a Utilization score that is set for each level but you cannot get on projects without going through leadership which is a direct contraction to what they tell you when you are hired. You are assigned a resource manager whose job is to match you to projects but that person now has to go through senior management to get approval for you to work on the project. If senior management does not agree, you will be placed on the bench which affects your utilization score. There is no training for new staff. They are currently hiring a lot of unskilled people which is a problem because it causes experienced workers to do two jobs because timelines must be met. They tell you your annual performance is based upon your project scores but that is not true, If a person on the team talks bad about you, you will get a bad score which can affect your staying at the company. Work from home on occasion was a part of the initial sell for the position. This week they decided people can't do that any more. They need to come into the office everyday. No flexible schedules unless the client has a meeting that is late. They have made life so miserable in my department that no matter how much they are paying. I don't want to stay. I am not sure this is the norm at Deloitte but I know it is at the USDC.
