Wow man nobody is going to give this much detail from other firms.

And btw, the 401k match is 25% of your contribution up to 6% which works out to be 1.5% of your salary, then 50% of up to 6% so 3% of salary.

Let's see: Deloitte phone: hardware 100% covered and voice and data 100% covered. You choose to use your own phone and expense a portion of it to Deloitte 60/40 usually. We get $50 phone accessory reimbursement every two years. Staff 1 PTO is 25 days and 12 holidays. Goes up to 30 PTO for managers. (New hires starting in sept '17 will get 23 PTO and 12 holiday). We get 4 months fully paid family leave renewable each year that can be used by anyone to care for any family member (new child, old child, parents, spouse). We get 25% of 6% 401k matching. We are eligible for the firms pension plan (with vesting). Access to Deloitte University (training perk). My past three years I have seen an average of 10% raises and 15% bonuses for staff seniors. Staff also got bonuses (last 2 years).

Deloitte 1, good info. What about promotion bonuses by level?

^Good info, thanks!

^who said they didn't go thru busy season? I had always heard of you miss busy season bc of a kid, you don't get promoted (in a promotion year) or a raise for that year

We get new cell phone hardware every 1-2 years, depending on carrier. If you care one phone for personal/business you expense 80/20. We now get 14 days of holidays. No sick time. I get 30 days of PTO. Our benefits are hard to beat.

My annual performance bonus as a 3 rated staff was 6%

First year raise was 6%

EY also gives 5 days for bereavement.
