Why does Deloitte have a bad reputation compared to other big 4?

I worked at D and came in as an experienced hire. There is absolutely a culture of superiority and if you didn't do it there, it doesn't count. I used to joke that if one cured cancer in a prior life, it was irrelevant - you didn't do it at D and your prior skills were irrelevant.

D2 kind of summed up the attitude that irks people. That said, coming out of undergrad, they paid the highest out of the Big 5 (Anderson/Accenture), they provided the most extensive training program for new hires, and they had the best MBA program.

Deloitte never left consulting but Deloitte is a different member firm than its tax/audit/advisory practice. The other big 4 firms have been back in now for well over 6 years which is enough time to get some of the basics in place like keeping your email from going down for days at a time.

The other Big 4 will keep lagging behind until they operate as a consulting firm instead of a tax/audit firm with a consulting practice.

I thought PWC was there but reading comments here, it sounds like there might be some turds in that punch bowl.

KPMG is opening a new training centers which is a great sign of investing in their people and you don't hear a lot of negativity out of them on here.

It's the annual "everyone hates Pwc" period. It occurs at the end of the review cycle. It will pass and we can go back to focussing on Deloitte.

Because Delloitte consultants have a tendency to come across as arrogant and selfish. Have friends who love it there and others that could not bear it more than 1 year.

^ it will be close once then others are rebuilt. Deloitte is just reaping the benefits of not selling their consulting arm back in the day

They are the best Big 4 firm and it isn't close, but they serve Kool Aid at DU and their consultants are more full of themselves

I work for deloitte and this makes me sad. There are some arrogant assholes here, but I've also met some amazing people who I love. Let's stop stereotyping entire firms and realize that there are good and bad eggs everywhere. This is like sorority rush where 5 people in a house set the tone and no one gets to know anyone else based off of what's already known to be a stereotype. Keep an open mind and judge people by who they are as an individual. I sound cheesy and all, but I wish people would do that.

I joined Mindtree on 8th Feb and not got project and I was waiting for last 2 and half month. So, i gave interview outside (tech mahindra) and got selected. Almost 30-35% they said they will give and i am negotiating on it.

My main concern was shift and i have some health issues and unable to continue in night shift in Mindtree and tech mahindra its purely EMEA shift and per project team update.

Shall i switch to tech Mahindra?
