Pros: Good company to start a career.

Cons: Time management is very difficult.

Pros: Forced to learn quickly on my own to get by.

Cons: I had a positive outlook on Deloitte prior to starting here. I regret leaving my previous job, and now I’m stuck until I find something else. I’ve been told I can’t log more than 8 hours a day without written approval from project leadership. However, my lead explicitly says we cannot log more than 8 hours. If we work more than 8, they said take time off while still logging a maximum of 8 hours. This is unethical, especially for hourly contractors exempt from overtime. Consistently, we’ve been forced to work longer than 8 hours. The lead keeps us online until 10-11pm at night some nights. We get scolded if we try to push things to the next day, even if we’re ahead of schedule. We get scolded via text/call during late hours and on days off telling us to come back online. It’s unreasonable, and there’s no respect for personal time. Different teams within the project are siloed and poorly managed. When there are issues that impact other teams or the overall timeline, no one takes ownership to resolve. It seems like the general attitude is to push everything onto someone else. If no one claims responsibility or they “can’t figure it out,” the problem will disappear and be forgotten. The project managers are not managing these issues. There’s high turnover within the project, with lots of new people who don’t know what to do. Due to a lack of process, poor management, and no clear ownership, we test and report results to the client that are invalid. The leadership team is more focused on getting something in front of the client that “looks” presentable rather than 100% accurate. No matter how much I push for improved processes or question why things are not done the most accurate way possible, it gets ignored since “we don’t have the time now” to think about it. There’s no diversity whatsoever.

Pros: Good opportunity. Good infrastructure. No benefits for contractor. Good for FTE.

Cons: Office politics Unreasonable forced networking
