Good team work

So many negative reviews here and that for the creme de la creme of the BIG4. It is your fault if you still hire them!

One of the staff in Birmingham sent me death threats and told me to kill myself

This was one of the most disorganized consulting engagements I have encountered. The Deloitte Workday integration team routinely provided inconsistent direction, failed to maintain clear ownership of issues, and appeared unprepared for meetings. Communication was often reactive rather than proactive, and concerns raised by partners were frequently met with defensiveness instead of collaboration. The result was avoidable confusion, delays, and a significant amount of rework. Successful integrations require professionalism, organization, and partnership. Unfortunately, those qualities were largely absent throughout this engagement. I expected expertise and leadership from a global consulting firm. Instead, the experience was marked by poor coordination, inconsistent communication, and an unnecessarily adversarial working relationship.

I worked as a working student (20h/week) in Cyber Security Strategy at Deloitte Frankfurt for around five months (OT Department). During the interview process, I was told the role would consist of roughly 50% technical work and 50% consulting, which was one of the main reasons I accepted the position. Unfortunately, the actual experience was very different. From the beginning, onboarding and mentoring were poorly handled. My assigned mentor often gave unclear instructions, ignored questions, and expected me to “figure things out” without proper guidance or access rights. For example, I received tasks involving files I could not access, and instead of support, I was simply told that “it works fine” on their side. As someone coming from a technical/software engineering background, I openly communicated when I lacked consulting-specific experience (e.g., creating OnePagers or client PowerPoint presentations) and asked for examples or templates. Instead of constructive guidance, I often received dismissive or sarcastic responses. Feedback was frequently harsh and unprofessional rather than supportive, which created a very uncomfortable working atmosphere. In one case, after raising concerns about the working environment to another colleague, the issue was dismissed and even joked about, rather than taken seriously. This gave the impression that feedback or concerns were not handled constructively within the team. One particularly negative experience was during a review meeting where I was heavily criticized without being given the opportunity to explain myself. During this conversation, comments were also made about my German skills and understanding, despite the fact that I studied in Germany, completed my bachelor’s degree there, and hold a C1 German level. I perceived these remarks as inappropriate and unprofessional, as they were not related to my work performance. Another major issue was the workload expectation. Although my contract was for 20 hours per week, I regularly worked far beyond that — sometimes 50–60 hours during busy weeks — without compensation. During a review discussion with my counselor (Michi/Michael), he told me that this was “normal,” that other junior staff also worked overtime, and that it should not be openly discussed. This created a highly uncomfortable and non-transparent working environment. The role itself also did not match the advertised responsibilities. Instead of technical cybersecurity work, most tasks consisted of preparing PowerPoint slides and formatting presentations. I felt I learned very little related to cybersecurity strategy or technical development during my time there. Additionally, deadlines and expectations were often communicated unclearly. In several cases, I was criticized for not meeting expectations that had never been properly explained beforehand. Overall, the experience was disappointing due to: * Lack of proper mentoring and onboarding * Unprofessional communication and feedback culture * Excessive unpaid overtime expectations * Dismissive handling of employee concerns * Inappropriate remarks regarding language/background * Misalignment between advertised role and actual tasks * Very limited technical learning opportunities * Low compensation relative to workload and expectations I joined with strong motivation and genuinely wanted to learn and contribute, but unfortunately the environment made that very difficult.

Really horrible partners, never listen. Moved over to Accenture instead because of how nasty everyone was.

Deloitte Sri Lanka has been appointed as the liquidator of The Finance Company, under which Telford International School (TIS) in Galle, Sri Lanka, operates. While their mandate relates to the financial liquidation process, their lack of attention to the educational welfare of over 1,300 children enrolled at this school is deeply concerning. Under Deloitte's oversight, the school has continued to deteriorate rapidly. Deloitte has mismanaged experienced teachers, lowered academic standards, and failed to meet the school's basic operational needs. Despite repeated requests from the TIS Protection Parents' Collective for meaningful dialogue, parents have been directed toward lengthy court processes rather than constructive discussions. We urge Deloitte, a respected firm, to engage transparently and compassionately with parents regarding the futures of their children.

Deloitte built a website for DePaul University. The public facing website is so terrible as to be unuseful. It is all about pictures and videos. There is almost no useful information available on the site. There are dead links everywhere. The search option sometimes results in non-sensical destinations. The information on departments and degree programs is incomplete and sometimes wrong. The result is a standardized, sterile web presence that tells a viewer nothing about what makes DePaul unique, why anyone would bother to enroll there. This is one star, only because zero stars are not an option. The company should be ashamed of the product.
