I was hired as an Analyst in 2005. The starting pay was $55,000. Bonuses at the end of the year are given individually and based on performance. My first bonus was around $10,000 my first year.

You will get the amount of work that you work for. For example, if you only do the bare minimum, expect to leave the office around 6:30pm everyday. However, if you're like me, then you will work at least 12 hours of billable work everyday. I work my very hard in this competitive environment so that I get noticed and I'm able to move up in this company. The company is competitive, but very just in promoting its people.

I am a semi-conservative person which fits perfectly with Deloitte. The people here are social (we go out to happy hours and dinners all the time), but there is a conservative feel among the employees. I guess it pretty much depends on which office you are at. I'm currently in the Chicago office which suits me perfectly!

Work hard, and you will get more work. Do average or less that average work and you'll be given less work to do and more of it will be grunt work. In a client service company, billable hours are extremely important. If you don't have billable hours, then you'll eventually quit or be fired.

In 2006, I was hired as a Senior Tax Consultant. My starting pay was 65K with a signing bonus of 5K. My first raise came pretty quick actually. 7 months after I was hired, I got paid 70K. One year later, my second raise put me at 72K. Guess the second raise wasn't as great.

You do not have just one boss at Deloitte; instead, your manager depends on what project you are staffed on. Deloitte is extremely review heavy, and your boss does a complete 10-page review of your core competencies at the end of the project. Remember, the bar is set extremely high and even if you feel like you're doing a great job, there are about 10 of your peers who are equally at your level. If you deserve the recognition, then you will get it.

I love Deloitte because I get to work with extremely smart people, get great client exposure and interaction, and I develop a skill-set that I know can carry on to any other venture I decide to take on later in life. Deloitte not only prepares you for another career, but they want to keep you in their company and give you the great opportunity to easily move your way up within the firm.

In 2003, I was hired as a manager with a base salary of 87K. There were 7 paid firm holidays, and about 28 days of vacation that I took full advantage of. When you travel, Deloitte takes care of food, transportation, hotels, and pretty much everything else. We call it Uncle D. Health benefits are great as well. They definitely take care of you at Deloitte.

I love the competitive nature of the company. I go through about 6 different projects per year, and try my hardest to always get a great review. The competitiveness comes in because you have SO MANY peers! This can be seen as a bad thing, but I love it because all of my peers encourage each other to do better and help each other through projects.

I think that Deloitte is a very strong and stable company. If you're looking for security in a job, then Deloitte is definitely the place for you to work. Accountants will always be in high demand, so you don't have to worry about job security.

As a Senior Manger in the company, I am trained and expected to have strong business development abilities. I focus on establishing and developing clients relationships. Like any job, I have junior staff and associates who work under me. I delegate the tasks to them just like when I was at their level and the Senior Manager delegated tasks to me. The structure is very hierarchical.

I interned for Deloitte Tax the summer of 2007. I was paid $22.50 per hour and received time and a half for overtime work. After my internship, I was offered a full time position with a salary of 50K and a signing bonus of 5K.
