The performance reviews at Deloitte are far from perfect. If you do not devote your entire life to Deloitte and work, then you will not get a good performance review. Recruiters will tell you that you can get promoted at anytime; however, once you start working at the company you'll realize that there are clear windows of time when you can be promoted.

The opportunity to advance in the company is there, but you really need to stand out to get the promotion. You may get stuck at a position for years because you just aren't able to get the attention of the management. It can be stressful to watch your friend get a promotion when you didn't and you both started Deloitte at the same time.

Growth within the company: Analyst, Senior Analyst, Consultant, Senior Consultant, Manager, Senior Manger, Partner. Like any firm, you will specialize your profession more and more on an industry or functional area as you progress through the company.
