Deloitte is afflicted with "interruption" culture. Hardly a meeting goes by without someone interrupting another person when they're in the middle of making a contribution. It's rude, arrogant, and it just forces everyone to continue interrupting so they can add their two cents. It happens at other companies, but Deloitte culture gets the grand prize.

@Manager 2 - Sounds like you're guilty as well. Reading comprehension is a good skill, you may want to brush up on it. Just because I notice interruptions during a meeting doesn't mean I'm the one being interrupted.

And then they bring this awful behavior to other firms and have to be untaught.

Zoom is part of the issue. Harder to tell when somebody is pausing vs. ending a thought, especially with potential half second connectivity lags

You can say that, but it never cures them.

That’s not common, usually people are “deloitte nice” and refrain from offending others even when constructive feedback is needed.

I rarely interrupt people, but when I do it’s because they lack self awareness and talk for minutes without pauses, or they fail to provide an executive summary.

This isn’t a Deloitte thing. This is a life thing. Some people are worse about it than others but if you’re saying something wrong or you’re going on too long you’re going to get interrupted in corporate meetings and in a non work conversations. If you find yourself being interrupted a lot more often than others, then you may want to do some reflection on why and see if you’re the problem.

The fact that I haven't experienced constant interrupting in other companies shows the issue isn't with me, it's Deloitte culture.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
