Deloitte

• Flexible, with good work/life balance.
• Engaged people.
• Meaningful clients and projects.

• Not a particularly great growth/learning environment for technical roles such as software engineers. Project to project, you won't feel like you're building the best tools/technologies because of the length and requirement of projects.

• Bench time for software engineers: It's hard to mix consulting with technical software engineers whose purpose should be providing value via technical contributions.

• Promotion timeline is long and not reflective of the capabilities and work done.

Consider the different technical expertise and strengths of individuals rather than grouping everyone in very structured and categorized roles. Maybe this will help with efficiency, cost-saving, and utilizing the talents you have.

Find ways to identify and pinpoint talents/skills and help them succeed in the firm.

Promote talents to the right level they are performing at will help retain talent and foster a better culture while finding ways to achieve this in a shorter timeline.
