I’ve been in the business factory for 20 years now and Deloitte, as an employer, is widely regarded as hell-on-earth. Sus.

Without naming the firm, I'm a refugee from public accounting.

Back when I was a staff accountant, and we were all making roughly $60k a year, they brought us all into a meeting in the middle of busy season to discuss work/life balance and mental health.

The solution they offered?

Simply hire a full-time live in housekeeper who does laundry and cooks!

That was it. That was the meeting.

Here here! Good work gentleman! Let's go the partner's villa and celebrate with cigars and brandy!

Holy shit that's so outlandish and yet totally believable

Probably, but the article is not wrong, these are huge factors that drive my decisions, and I have flat out told employers in interviews that I take issues with aspect of how companies run. Im sure some roll their eyes, but honestly I dont care, im not going to devalue myself or my ethics just to make them more money.

Yup. Just general sus. The bigger an organization gets the closer it approaches infinite disregard for its employees.

Ditto. I know someone who actively shudders when they hear the name. He repeatedly thanks me from saving him from what he said was actively destroying his soul.

Interested in what you've heard? So far most people I know working at Deloitte love it.

Deloitte staff don’t act totally dead inside (from my experience). EY staff, though, act like they’ve looked inside the abyss and it stared right back at them. That place must be one soulless meat grinder of a business factory.
