Deloitte

Hours

“In audit, there can be very long hours in busy season (Jan – March). It is much more reasonable for the rest of the year.” -- Assistant Manager
“Hours vary on your engagement with the client and the industry you cover. Oil and gas in particular has very good hours, but I know that sometimes banking can be gruelling, especially during busy period.” -- Associate
“During busy season it can be pretty dire, but as stated, from what I hear it is the same in any large firm (plus better than the lawyers I know). Outside busy season fairly normal working days most of the time, 9-6 a lot of the time. (N.B. our busy season runs Jan – April).” -- Assistant Manager, London
“Employees aren't expected to work really long hours and on the occasions they do, it is appreciated by the managers. Managers understand if you need to take time off for personal reasons, or emergency leave.” -- Associate

“There is a healthy work/life balance.” -- Associate, Corporate Tax
“We're usually out the door by 6pm at the latest, unless it's busy. But people do get in early.” -- Associate
“Hours can be horrific during busy season. From January to March expect to work at least 12 hour days and a bit on the weekends. However, hours are very reasonable the rest of the year. Managers are always understanding/encouraging about other commitments (e.g. sports teams/evening courses) and will let you leave/arrive early/late as long as they are known in advance.” -- Senior Associate
“As a marketer for Deloitte, the role is project based which leads to peaks and troughs throughout the year. Spring and autumn are the busiest periods often resulting in much longer hours especially when managing events, sponsorships and conferences.” -- Marketing Manager

“I think it's about average for grads in the UK (24k) but way below banks’ pay.” -- Junior Associate

“National Department roles (non-fee earning) have lower salaries than fee earners. Of all the Big 4, Deloitte pay internal staff the lowest salaries, however, people have a strong loyalty to the firm which is why they stay.” -- Marketing Manager
"£27,250" -- Graduate, Audit
"£28,250" -- Graduate, Audit

“Working for the world’s largest professional services firm means that there is large global network to tap into. Deloitte UK has a number of visionaries who have strengthened the brand enormously, which is great for your CV. Deloitte has a number of market leading partnerships with prestigious organisations such as London 2012, the Royal Opera House and the Serpentine Gallery. People are entitled to one professional membership per year; most marketers choose membership to the Chartered Institute of Marketing. A number of corporate discounts are negotiated and available to all Deloitte people. Very few financial and travel perks though in a marketing role.” -- Marketing Manager
“Moving expenses.” -- Associate
“A £7,000 interest free loan on joining as a graduate.” -- Associate
"You can buy more holiday." -- Graduate, Audit

“The private gym in the London office is well-equipped and offers a highly reasonable membership.” -- Insider
“There is no 'bonus' the first two years but there are recognition awards for a minimum of £750. The nomination process is very rigorous so not many people get them.” -- Senior Associate
“Employees use their pay to purchase different packages, depending on your priorities – extra holiday, child care vouchers, a dental plan, or extra salary, among others.” -- Senior Associate, Audit

“There is a lot of autonomy in the role and it is quite varied. Marketers work directly with Partners, which is great for establishing senior relationships and understanding the business. Strength of the Deloitte brand is also a huge bonus.” -- Marketing Manager
"Lots of free booze." -- Graduate, Audit

“This varies from job to job (i.e. client to client). It’s more dependent on the client as opposed to the nature of the work. Often the luck of the draw on clients. All of mine have been pretty good!” -- Assistant Manager, London
"When you have to work and study at the same time, it's so stressful." -- Graduate, Audit

“Deloitte does not have a CMO. The structure is decentralised which often results in marketing teams working in silo. Marketing is seen as a ‘support role’ to the business rather than a strategic approach to driving business growth. However, with new leadership at the helm, there is hope for a cultural shift to better understanding the value of marketing.” -- Marketing Manager
