Pros

It's a Big 4, looks great on a resume- that's about it!

Cons

The company is way too beaurocratic. New hires beware, the people here will stab you in the back any chance they get. Low on the ethics scale. The management at Deloitte lacks intelligence. Absolutely the worst experience of my career. I would not recommend this company to anyone, the people here are miserable and they will make your life miserable!

Pros

Avoid at all costs if you value your sanity. My experience was a masterclass in how to deplete employee's work-life balance. The 'always-on' culture is not just a saying; it's a brutal reality. Expect constant pressure to prioritize billable hours over any semblance of personal life. Ethical concerns were very significant. I witnessed questionable practices that left me deeply uncomfortable, and raising these concerns was met with indifference or, worse, retaliation. Senior management's behavior was extremely rude. A toxic blend of arrogance and incompetence created an environment where micromanagement thrived, and genuine leadership was nonexistent. They prioritized politics over performance, fostering a cutthroat atmosphere. For mid-level professionals, forget about growth. The internal politics are so entrenched that advancement is based on who you know, not what you know. Talent and hard work are consistently overshadowed by favoritism and backstabbing. My career stagnated, and I felt utterly trapped.

Cons

In short, Deloitte offered a truly world class miserable experience. If you're looking for a company that values its employees, respects ethical standards, and fosters professional growth, look elsewhere. If you are still particular in working for some salary for a company that some of the HR fake employees or new joinees from campus recruit will ask you to repay while resigning in the name of partnership, please see the below: Prioritizing politics over performance - 5 rated Entrenched internal politics - 5 rated Favoritism and backstabbing - 3rd rated Career Stagnation - 5 rated

Pros

Allows you to work somewhere better afterwards.

Cons

Choosing to work at Deloitte after university is like choosing to send yourself to prison for an uncertain amount of time. Eventually you will get to leave and move on to better paid, more exciting roles where you are respected having secured the seal of big4 approval on your CV, but until then buckle up for the ride. The work you will do after piercing through the smoke and mirrors is incredibly repetitive and you are prevented from moving on to more complicated work where you can develop your skillset until you have served set amounts of time at the firm. Unfortunately because managers are often comprised of staff members who lacked the talent to leave after completing their exams (3 years timed served) the middle management have poor personal skills in general. The reality is the big4 pay is so comically below competing fields of finance they cannot retain the best staff members. The large office floors are filled with phone meeting rooms, the irony is most of these are constantly occupied with people on the phone to recruiters trying to leave. I don't think any review is going to put someone off working at Deloitte, or any big 4, it's a good stepping stone into higher paid exit roles, but it really can be a miserable place to work. The day you get out is an incredibly happy day.
