Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Definitely a PC. Office products on Mac are nearly unusable (different menus, no shortcuts, etc) and will most likely drastically limit your ability to do your core functions as a consultant.

When I started with deloitte I made a Mac a condition of my employment. Ie I would rather work somewhere else than be stuck on Windows.
For future reference everyone, just negotiate your preferred computer into your employment conditions.

I been on a Mac at another Big4… I am in advisory and I have been told that my PowerPoint foo is superior to most that are on windows. Choose what you feel more comfortable… Skype I never use instead on zoom and teams… Skype was cool in late 90s early 2000 along with ICQ and AOL messenger … they will be removing that soon but for what it is worth I have Skype on my Mac and turn it on once in a while with no issues

You get to pick? I just started at Deloitte and was given an HP - pretty happy with it so far

They gave me a dell. Has good specs i7 16Gb RAm with SSD.

I’m in A&C doing mostly data science and have a Mac. I do have some Skype issues but overall I’m really glad I took it. I obviously use it every day so I’d rather it be the OS I prefer.

Are there any Skype or other issues when using a Mac at Deloitte? I will be joining soon and would prefer a Mac

If you're in CBO CE you can get a MacBook just have to get approval but that is pretty much just rubber stamped. All the engineers on my team have MacBooks. Most that are more managers tend to stick with windows.

Is there any way I can request one? I’m currently only 1 year in and it says my next refresh will be in 12 months. Would I need a justification for having a Mac? In consulting and all I do is make ppts and write emails.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that?
