Deloitte provides great workplace culture. Colleagues here are very friendly and easy to work with. The salary however needs to be revisited to match the workload as well
Pros
Multiple fun activities
Cons
Long hours during peak periods and compensation packatge
I faced many situations the management asked me to close my eyes and to conclude without supporting, no management support or even investing in employees other than e-learning
Entering this organization is not that easy, as all CPAs and with Bachelors degree in accounting wants to join this Big 4 Company. A typical day at work will require you to be competitive and constantly updated on technical knowledge in accounting in order for you to response correctly on clients query. Each employee were treated fairly regardless of the race and nationality. Top management are constantly involve in the day to day activities of the firm.
Pros
Numerous Trainings, Various Discounts, A lot of benefits for employees
Cons
Long Hours
Good exposure to the market
Opportunity to work in multiple industries
Very demanding (no life and work balance)
Some departments lack project management and planning
Amazing experience. Learned work ethic and time management. The work culture is very good and the people are extremely helpful.
The internship provided me invaluable experiences.
great place to work, people are very friendly and allow to reach your potential in the work place, would definitely recommend anyone to work for this great company.
9 hours shift includes 1 hour break its was like in a click the day used to pass away. They is always fun at work due to the culture which is been followed by the firm and it keeps the employee energetic to come to work daily.
Depending on your nature of the Job you may spend most of your time at client's locations rather than working at office. However, when you are in office you have your own desk to do your work fitted with all necessary electric plug-ins, you will also have printing facilities available to take print outs of documents. Kitchen facilities are also there and free self-service tea and coffee is available.
I have learned a great deal while working at Deloitte Middle East and I have enhanced my Auditing skills.
Work culture depends on which office you work for. Generally it is professional environment but you may face work politics in some offices but often.
It becomes extremely busy after 31 December until June the following year if you are working in Audit Department.
Its ideal for someone who has passion to learn and improve their skills because one will face a new challenge daily while working for Deloitte.
Excellent career prospects, Market leading clients and steep learning curve with necessary support via training courses including online and network around you.
We want to help you find great companies. Help us be the best!

Pros
work across different clients, grow technical expertise and soft skills
Cons
long hours, no work life balance, less pay
Deloitte was my first job out of University and it offered a great introduction to the professional world through the projects serving clients operating in different sectors.
I learnt everything technical in a different point of view, something education did not show.
The hardest part was the learning phase, thankfully I was trained under a good senior consultant.
Excellent training hub for self development. Learning different financial aspects is available to everyone. Supportive Management and colleagues and good company culture.
Pros
training
Cons
Lack of mentor in the workplace
You would be expected day in and day out to meet your deadline. There will hardly be any time for your personal life.
The people that work along you become your family, you sleep, eat and work along side them.
However, the most agonizing part of the job is that you do not have any time to yourself. Pressure keeps mounting during peak seasons depending on the department you work.
Pros
Work envrionment
Cons
Very long hours
This job is very demanding and the staff needs to be committed on a daily basis.
Client facing and constant interaction is important. Tough deadlines have to be met and the quality of the work needs to be of top standard.
Pros
Self development
Learned to working in various industries such as Hospitality, Construction, Trading, Manufacturing etc hence gained a wild range of exposure both financial and managerial.
