It was mostly COVID and general performance-related layoffs. Now we’re understaffed, especially on the government side
Very few GPS folks were laid off in comparison to commercial. I wouldn’t be too concerned with it.
As someone in GPS, I would not be concerned. Actually don't think there were many COVID related layoffs. Business is booming, and this is a good time to join if you're interested
GPS is what kept the firm afloat during COVID because there was a tidal wave of federal COVID projects. Didn’t know a single person in GPS laid off, but a few commercial colleagues of mine were.
Agree with D7 …. Deloitte got too many federal + state projects…. We got good stimulus package, however lot of good people voluntarily left the firm. Attrition rate was very high.
I left Deloitte for a government position last year. My personal experience in GPS was this - Deloitte will not provide the government with the experts or expertise needed to truly help their client accomplish their mission or solve their problems. No doubt, Deloitte has experts in their respective field, but they won’t be staffed on projects or given the required billable hours to make an impact; they are brought on to build the business.
Performance related lays targeted towards minorities with in the firm. external DEI report sheds some light on things.
We lay off ~5% of the firm every few years; either it’s a recession or COVID or an adverse buying climate. Have a decent network to protect you, and don’t be at the absolute bottom performance-wise, and this particular issue shouldn’t be a concern for you.
Very few layoffs in gps and all were performance related.
Appreciate everyone's feedback, thanks!
I just got a Deloitte offer today. IM An MBA experienced hire and told them my pay- range was from 110-125. HR lady said the max they could do is 95-100. I feel like this is super low based on what I'm hearing.
How many YOE? I’m a GPS C2 and am making $85k, if that helps.
