Deloitte reviews

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.

Benefits are... lacking. Leave was cut from “unlimited” to just 15 days a year which feels like a big step back. Bonus payout is strange... the financial year ends in June, but if ur not client-facing, you don’t get ur bonus until end September. Client-facing folks get monthly payouts instead of one annual bonus but only if they hit some really tough KPIs. KPIs in general are super high for client-facing roles, so the pressure is real. Perks have disappeared too. We used to have free snacks, breakfast, and drinks in the pantry, now it’s just vending machines. Zero flexibility now. No WFH at all and everyone’s expected to be in the office 5 days a week. If ur thinking about promotions, those are harder to get since the business isn’t doing great. Moving to another office overseas? Pretty much impossible these days...
