Deloitte reviews

No appreciation for family life. The Partner mantra is "Firm First" before any other priority. There are well known Deloitte work place customization activities, but those initiatives are not typically or widely available to those who are on the more aggressive partner track. The firm also considers itself a "Career Enhancer" rather than a "Career Destination" meaning it doesn't necessarily view itself as a place where people should spend their entire career, rather its a stepping stone. I think this view is currently accurate but would prefer to see initiatives to embrace the "Career Destination" path.

*You will never work harder in your life. *Your life will be centered around your work. *Few people are paid well *Those that are paid well are highly underpaid (when compared to thier peers in industry). *Audit quality is often overlooked and customers are sometimes being cheated. *Work is not evenly assigned. Those that work hard and are the top of class are definitely overwhelmed. *Management is highly overrated *Few partners are technically astute *Align yourself with the wrong partner, and your career (even if you are at the top of your class) will be destroyed. *Be prepared to feel under-appreciated - even if you are the highest paid, most recognized, and strongest of your group.
