How is Monitor (Deloitte) looking these days? Curious to hear if it’s still a good place to work and respected in the Canadian market

They are always “doing great and growing” until they don’t sell enough and have three to four rounds of firing. Seen that movie on repeat for past three years now. And as EY said Monitor doesn’t exist globally. A few internal practitioners hold onto the brand with dear life to “stay elite” and as OW said pay is absolutely garbage. On average you make 5-15k more per role compared to regular consulting pay bands

Not a bad place to work, but also not very respected anymore (see the numerous posts in this bowl on how Monitor doesn’t actually exist anymore in Canada)

Yes, market presence is niche and culture is not great

I had a great time there, great culture. However pay is below T2 firms in Canada.

Monitor is busy but it’s a very sector specific group. Everyone works in either GPS, TMT, Oil and gas or energy, healthcare, and FS. They tend to encourage juniors to soft align themselves to an industry. They also don’t do much PE work if that’s an area of interest

This isn’t a thing in Canada. You’re better off sticking to S& imo.

Dude stay away from S& Canada, unless you are okay with strong pay at the expense of toxic culture, broken apprenticeship model, dry pipeline forcing you to work non-strategy / transformation projects

Non-Monitor Deloitte here - the Monitor folks are good to work with, generally pretty cool people to paint in broad strokes. They have more of an “in office” culture than other teams and have a little more of the old school consulting hustle compared to some of the tech teams that tend to complain more when they have to work past 5. Leaders are hit or miss. Others got it right saying they want an industry focus, people tend to align to an industry earlier on

I mean … the value is that it’s part of Deloitte so it has scale in all sectors and you get to focus on strategy work mostly….And Deloitte are more successful than other b4 in Canada. It may not pay what OW pays but OW is very small and doesn’t play in all sectors

Yes D is biggest but all sectors is untrue - their main money comes from finance - insurance lending specifically second biggest would be government and then some work in retail but yes to your point more variety than other firms in. Canada
