I’m new to Deloitte (joined Consulting earlier this year), and I am not loving the lack of WLB. I am pregnant with our first, and joined because their mat leave is best in class, but now I’m wondering if I’ll even make it that far before leaving for another job. I had previously worked in both consulting and in industry, and the WLB here is worse than I have ever experienced - including when I was a road warrior. Assuming I make it through the baby’s arrival, I fully plan to ramp up my job search during maternity leave because I do not see a feasible long-term career here. In terms of leadership, it really varies, the leadership team at my client is very difficult and the majority of project teams are almost entirely male (except for my project team), which is not surprising to me. I don’t feel like most leaders have my back and I think they would throw me under the bus to save their own skin. The pay is good, but the quality of life is lacking. I actually wanted to accept a different firm (with better WLB), but would not have qualified for fully paid mat leave - so went with D where I was eligible right away - and have regretted it.

Also, second that Deloitte has horrible WLB! For my first project, I forced a roll off by making up a personal reason and then found a PMO project with less than 10 hours of work a week (after I made the workstream efficient, it was ran very badly before I joined by someone junior at Deloitte).
I feel extremely supported as a new parent at Deloitte. WLB is fine, but the firm supports you setting your own boundaries. Set your boundaries and they will be respected. The firm doesn’t know everything on your plate, it’s up to you to set what you do and what you can’t. Nobody says no you are too busy except you (which can be hard).
