Memoire of my first full YE… TLDR - bullshit… here is why:
1. No actionable feedback- was not told why my result was such, just that it was so
2. Results do not correlate with feedback provided to me by leadership
3, inherent bias towards EH is very real
4. I am incredibly demotivated and ready for something else
5. Make no mistake, this is a popularity contest. My coach even said that it was a game…. Good luck delivering a great talent experience with that…

I agree with all of your statements. Deloitte’s talent experience is by far the worst I have been apart of. However this year I played the “game” and received EEE and a promotion to M. My performance was the same as last year except I switched to a coach who has a great reputation and basically worked like 60hours a week. I don’t think I can go through another talent cycle here, so I am planning to leave soon.

Congrats on the promotion and winning the game. Good luck with your next gig

What were your ratings?

To add my loops are bright Deloitte green… apparently that matters not

Can relate. They don’t care.

My client rating was downgraded in the panel so that it is not consistent with my snapshots or what my coach submitted. I killed myself for a project, was reviewed accordingly, and then someone decided to downgrade me so my reward would be mediocre. Extremely depressing and certainly not the #1 Talent Experience.

This right here is why people quiet quit.

I was an EH, but came from another B4. Before that 15 years in industry. Can say all of consulting B4 is the same. Very much of a “you own your own future” and not “we will guide and mentor” - eg most SMs only give actionable feedback when pressed by staff even though in a perfect world they should be offering it freely, etc. I had a rough first year when I came into B4 consulting but it is very much a “you and you alone control your future and either you figure it out or you get out or get put out”.

Once you level set with that, I do think the Deloitte talent experience is by far better than other firms in our industry having been somewhere else…

Similar experience, there’s no explanation or justification in most cases. My issues has always been the lack of consistency. There’s a sense of a moving target and all rating are subjective to too many factors and people rather than individual performance. It’s not clear how items are weighed and there are preferences that play a part.

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.
