Promotions are perfectly biased and illogical No matter how you work you may not be recognized if you have even a slight argument with leads for their mistakes Most of the senior consultants especially some lateral hiers lacks technical her knowledge and tries to be bossy which is spoiling actual Deloitte environment They act as abstraction between you and your managers where your efforts are not appreciated Long work hours

Dislikes
-- No promotion opportunities. - Don’t understand onsite challenges. - Unreasonable, unlimited, and unrealistic expectations. - Vulnerability to contract termination. - Poor communication with clients by managers, which ultimately pressures employees to meet unreasonable client demands. - Unnecessary IT compliance; the laptop is more of a liability than a facility. - No activities or wellbeing programs for employees working on client sites. - Consulting at client sites feels like a glorified clerk job. - As per my view, there are hardly any visionaries in the organization. Even higher management primarily talks about business and money without considering the impact on the team, the project, and the client. - Besides money, if the firm thought a bit more about impact and wellbeing, outsourcing could become true consulting.
