Build your resume then get out of the rat race
Pros
Having Deloitte on your resume holds a lot of weight Get 16 weeks off when you have a kid
Cons
The internal recruiter will try to talk your salary down. It is part of their job. So get as much as you can up front. When you get promoted you'll only receive a 5% increase and most people leave because of this. The PPDs (principals, partners, and directors) will put millions in their pockets before they give you hundreds. Little to no profit sharing. You'll be lucky to get 1k or 2k as a bonus. Even managers say their bonuses "are not enough to buy a car with". Raises are calculated by national cost of living increases and not local... So if you live in a city like Nashville where the cost of living is skyrocketing, you get shafted. Several of my peers and I spent thousands of hours on a highly profitable project and were only rewarded with a party... Yet the PPDs kept bragging about how much money we were making. What they were really bragging about was how much money they were making... They literally kept telling us we made double this year than last year. Then the year after we made double again compared to last year. Yet the raises and bonuses were 2 to 4 % for most people... The PPDs make a "plan" when it comes to profits and bring it up as a talking point during meetings. They can not meet "plan" and still be profitable. If they do not meet "plan" you'll receive little to no bonuses and or raises, yet they will still fill their coffers with money. "Plan" could be anything. For example, "plan" could be double what we made last year in profit. Basically the PPDs are getting paid first, the most, and will share little to no profit, yet you are doing all the actual work and if something goes wrong, you'll be canned. If you find a way for the company to make millions or save millions, you'll only receive a pat on the back, well unless you are a PPD. If you find a way for the company to make millions or save millions, most of your peers will turn on you. The recruiter will not tell you that you are expected to bill more than 40 hour weeks. There was actually a mandate that went out and it asked everyone to bill 55 hour weeks minimum.................. The mandate was quickly reworded....... 60% of internal IT is incompetent and doesn't understand the other parts of Deloitte (profit centers) are their clients and that the other parts of Deloitte do not have to use them. Work here for a few years, get Deloitte on your resume, then get out of the rat race (race to no where).
