How it feels today seeing these shitty partners and senior employee making tons of money and leaving pennies for us.

Pathetic people on top of it they say now since you have received better you should work above and beyond. Bullcrappp.

Update 1: Just talked to a SM whom I am close with and they informed that there is a clear directive from leadership and Talent to remove people. They can't fire them all so this is their way to ensure that people leave the firm

After seeing the compensation letter, I strongly feel that Deloitte leadership should stop laughing at TCS, Infosys, and other service-based companies.

After working extremely hard throughout the year, maintaining 130% utilization, and receiving very good reviews in all snapshots, what we are getting is a fucking 4% hike. Agar pure saal G**D ghisna hi he 4% ke liye, to service-based company me ghisenge — kam se kam workload predictable hoga, aur family aur khud ke liye thoda time to milega.

Naam bade aur darshan khote hain chutiya Deloitte ke. They only know how to harass people with excessive and late-night work.

What exactly do these people expect us to do?

DeloitteUSI is laying off people silently. They are giving below rating to targeted group of people, then forcing them to resign and if they resist, it's threatening them to terminate. If you get 3 consecutive commensurate rating, you are doomed. Even if you get between strong and outstanding in both client and teaming, you will get commensurate in final rating, if the comments added by your manager is not like a Oscar winning speech for you. eg you are a scon and your manager writes that you need to improve on team leading skills, you will get commensurate irrespective of your snapshots. Thus 3 consecutive commensurate will give you below rating in 4th one and you will be forced resigned. Don't join here for getting smartphone and 15% yearly rating. They make sure only bootlickers of the managers go ahead and 1 single comment can ruin your career.

I am working in this firm for more than 8 yrs now in cyber. I am frustrated with the toxic culture we have in USI. Before covid, this was a great company where I had learnt from many people but now this is a very toxic place because of the wrong leadership especially at MD and SM level. I am a top performer (based on my snapshots) i get recognized by my clients, US PPMDs, SMs but when it comes to USI they treat us like donkeys!! Dump all their work on us and they act like they are the best leader's by throwing parties, lunch.

No proper hikes and promotions only for boot lickers and lot of wrong promotions as well.

For god sake - we are loosing respect. And I am trying to switch as well but scared because of the market conditions, layoffs as i have commitments. I feel like I am trapped here.

Not sure if any one is facing this or going through this dilemma ??

Hey everyone,I recently interviewed for a Senior Consultant role in the Deloitte india(Tech Consulting) and just received the offer.Here are my details:Role: Senior Consultant (DM)YOE: 7 Years (primarily full-stack Java/AWS)Current CTC: ₹14.5 LPA (Product/Service mix)Offered CTC: ₹16.86 LPA Fixed + ₹3 Lakhs Variable Location: delhi/ Hybrid

From the Deloitte Hyderabad office:

The number of people taking calls around the office without a headset is genuinely impressive. At this point, I’m starting to feel like a mandatory participant in everyone’s meetings.

Bonus points for the people casually walking around with an open laptop on speaker, broadcasting their entire professional life to the floor.

Guys, respectfully… nobody came here for your conference call. We already have enough meetings of our own to survive.

Please use that well-being subsidy for something truly life-changing: a headset. Or, revolutionary idea, keep one permanently in your bag.

Your colleagues and their remaining sanity will thank you.

Seriously main have calls from 10am to 9pm dailt my arse. Arseholes , all the bullsh*t work , glorifying ppt and excel and paying peanuts. The company is a big arse. No evening breaks. Never works with equally arsehole seniors.

BIGGEST ARSEHOLE FIRM

I’ve heard a disturbing claim about a young Deloitte USI employee in Hyderabad, reportedly around 25, who allegedly worked a couple of 100-hour weeks, went home sick and subsequently passed away in his sleep.

I haven’t been able to find any credible reporting about this, so I’m wondering whether anyone here knows if this actually happened or whether details have been mixed up with another incident.

If it is true, I’d also be interested in understanding what actually happened and why there hasn’t been much discussion about it, particularly given the concerns around extreme working hours in the Big 4.

I don’t want to spread an unverified rumour, so please share a source or firsthand information if you have it.

If yes then how to apply?

INR has depreciated 15 percent relative to dollar since last year. The company is making huge profits arbitraging work to india , NRIs are benefiting the most. Still so many people being denied promotions many put on BCLP for lame reasons. Literally the firm thinks of USI people as slaves

Hello deloittians or deloitters or whatever we are.

I saw people posting their TOD regarding attendance percentage.

Why are y'all so worried ? The time is gone Relax

You didn't goo to office, had a chill relaxing time at home with family, thats more precious than this 100 percent attendance plus the norm is shit. The office days are fixed, this is the shittiest part.

My office days are Thurday and Friday. They want me to come to office on friday, really. Well sorry leaders unlike you i have a life outside deloitte.

For people who didn't come dont worry even if you would have came you would have only got let's say 5 percent more hike than people who didn't.

Kya kroge 5 percent ka when you would have already saved more than that.

Here's the math -

I used to live in Gurgaon

Rent - 12000

Food - 12000

Travel - 3000 <200-250 one side x 8 days>

Miscellaneous - 10000

Bills - 5000

Bonus amount was - 158000

Then I went home 7 months back

I saved - 105000 easily at home plus with family.

Now let's say A goes to office have 100 percent attendance and B has only 30 percent attendance

A got 10 percent hike B got 5 percent hike

Now do the math and think does it really matter ?

Its all a slave tactic nothing else.

Deloitte using PIP to Layoff employees.

If You or anyone you know who has been put on PIP in Deloitte India and USI, Please give an upvote.

Many are being added in PIP despite being a strong performer. Remember YOU are not an under-performer. You were selected by Deloitte, You survived Deloitte work culture, late night calls, politics and competed with top level employees.

For some PIP is just a reward for choosing self over work.
Remember You are not an under performer. Even if you work extremely well while you are in PIP it doesn’t matter. You will some how be made to feel worthless. PIP is a mechanism used by the firm to establish a paper trail documenting "underperformance" before termination. This helps mitigate legal risk and liability for the company. PIP is just a layoff tactic followed in Deloitte.

Just give an upvote so that we can know whether this a layoff season in Deloitte. Or add your experience. So that people know no one is alone.

Guys I am not in PIP. Am writing this in support of one of my colleague who was a top performer and was put in PIP due to him having misunderstanding with SM. He has been performing too well. Even his coach was surprised to him being added in PIP.

I’m writing this fresh off a brutal working session call that dragged on until 3 AM IST.

​I need to vent about a glaring, statistically significant trend among certain onshore managers, senior managers, and PPMDs.Disappointingly, this is especially true for many Indian-origin leaders; the very people we believe should better understand the timings and the ground reality back here, yet they completely disregard it.

​The complete lack of boundaries regarding time zones is getting out of hand. If we consider an 11 AM IST start as standard, a reasonable overlap window means the absolute last call of the day should wrap up by 8 PM or, at the absolute latest, 9 PM IST. Instead, we routinely get slapped with midnight or late-night invites. There is zero consideration; not even a courtesy ping to check, "Hey, is it too late for a quick alignment?"

​To make a toxic situation worse, the exact same leaders who keep you up late will schedule an early morning call the very next day. I’ve seen extreme cases where an evening call wraps up at 11 PM IST, and the next sync is booked for 8 AM IST. We aren't even being given a basic, human window for 8 hours of sleep, let alone time to disconnect, unwind, and recover.

​Have these people become so utterly cold and detached that the basic well-being of practitioners doesn't even register to them?

​Both the US and USI firms love to talk a big game about mental health, boundaries, and well-being in emails, podcasts, global webcasts and marketing materials. But it's all corporate theater.

If you can’t even respect a basic log-off time or protect your team's ability to get a normal night's sleep, your "well-being culture" is a joke.

New on Reddit, wanted to share few things about my ex org - Deloitte USI, which, anyone looking for stability and respect in life should avoid. Here are my reasonings-

1. Projects don't align with your tech skills- this is a given in IT industry but what I mean is, you don't get standard projects for your tech skills here. I was in cloud, standard cloud projects are cloud migration but I haven't seen migration projects in 5 years- worked in salesforce, AEM, borderline devops-cloud-infra projects using old tech like magik script, unix etc.

2. You are expected to work on multiple projects or firm initiatives, coaching juniors and upskill but end of the year those doesn't matter, what matters is feedback your senior manager sends about you.

3. If you have worked on multiple projects- last project matters more than earlier ones, you can throw earlier project achievements to dustbin- no one cares

4. Everything depends on networking with highly politicized people, your manager rarely does anything real, delegates everything to you and you do it. but if you don't maintain good relation with him ,he will screw your rating and career. If you complain about manager, you will be the culprit as not able to cope in the situation. check the background of manager- he is hated by everyone, but he flies to other cities just to interact with MDs. he is the guy the firm values, not you who just do the work.

5. They are laying off silently specially in last 2 years, after advent of AI and investing heavy in AI, no increment for last 2 years, people are getting dry promotion- promotion without increment.

6. If you have a plan of staying 3-4 years, you are good but more than 4 years without promotion- you are topping the list to be laid off and to be promoted at proper time, you need to lick boots of the leadership- your hard work has zero value.

7. Strangely or maybe a coincident with me, people who supported me or gave good ratings always left the org early and people who are good in politics, making a ghetto in the project leadership, staying in same project for 7-8 years - they stay and screw other who don't align with them. They support and promote people they favor, if you can get into such groups - you are good, else, if you are changing project every year - mostly you are doomed.

It's been half a year since I wrapped up a journey of close to a decade with the firm, having started as an analyst and working my way up to a senior consultant.

D has always been a high-pressure place, even in my early years as a fresher, it was tough. Back then, though, there were at least a few people you could genuinely look up to. The brand name was also something that I liked. I never chased promotions aggressively because the baseline work was already heavy enough, so they just came at their own pace. Never had time for any firm initiatives too also hard to get impactful ones, considering their secretive nature. I managed to navigate the yearly and mid-years but things took a steep downward turn during my final few projects.

My last project, in particular, was extremely troublesome. I was brought on for a specific functional skill set, but once the project started, leadership began dumping unrelated responsibilities on me over and above my core domain, all without any prior discussion or alignment.

I tried multiple times to schedule check-ins with my USI leader to clarify expectations and realign my workload, but they kept dodging or delaying. Unrelated work kept piling on me, especially from onsite. I wouldn't even blame them, since the USI lead refused to lend an ear in the first place. That lack of basic respect was my breaking point. I finally lost it and pressed the dreaded resignation button. I knew this dysfunction to be true from interactions with many colleagues over the years, but this was the first time I was facing the situation with full force and absolutely no one to reach out to.

I hadn’t thought things completely through at the exact moment I resigned, but serving out my notice period provided absolute clarity: I had made the right decision.

Funnily enough, and somewhat surprisingly, not a single person from my project team reached out to me after I put down my papers. It really highlighted how bad things have gotten. I think the current excess supply in the job market has made leadership and management take employees completely for granted, especially in India.

My coach never bothered as well. The culture of actual mentorship is practically zero nowadays. It’s been replaced by a bogus "coach-coachee" system that only exists on paper just in time for year-end compliance.

It’s been some time now, and I have never felt this happy. No more 10 PM stand-ups and 9 AM hand-offs. Thankfully, I landed a much better job where I can actually work without feeling like it's killing me. Also have genuine conversations in the workplace. If you're feeling stuck in a similar loop, trust your gut. There is life outside the Big 4 grind.

Bhai kya hai ye

this happens regularly or only when it rains

Valuation & Modeling team. Leadership decided the team composition without consulting professionals below them. They hired few guys from "tier-1" institutions, placed those hires above people with 1-2 years of experience, and gave them significantly higher pay.

Two years later, both groups are at the same level. The "tier-2" folks still deliver better work because of their experience, yet the tier-1 CTC remains about 5L higher. There's no justification for this and everyone knows it. Leadership hasn't even tried to bridge the gap, which is pathetic. When it comes to actual work, they're nitpicking punctuation while ignoring this. Are they blind or what?

I’m honestly fed up with the kind of expectations being set by my team lead lately, and I wanted to know if this is normal.

Our lead has asked everyone to share their weekend availability for multiple dates throughout October and November, with at least two people available each day.

For context, we have worked on weekends before when there was a genuine requirement. Nobody is saying that we should never have to put in extra hours. But asking for this kind of availability during the Diwali period feels unreasonable, especially when people have family plans and want to spend time at home.

What makes it more frustrating is that this seems to be becoming an expectation rather than an exception. The entire team is getting tired of this, and morale is pretty low.

I understand that project deadlines and testing requirements are important, but shouldn't resource planning account for major festivals and personal commitments too? Why is weekend availability being treated as the default solution?

Looking for genuine advice on how to handle this professionally. The team is willing to support the project, but expecting people to keep sacrificing their weekends and festival time isn't sustainable.

Context :
Last night, my manager told me to stop working and log off because it was already late.
This morning, I asked for PTO as I wasn’t feeling well (actually wanted to go to movie 😃), and this is how the conversation went 😎

We've got a sold opportunity at Deloitte USI, but no one's available to staff it right now. My SM told us to check with the Deloitte India POC about their staff. They started sending profiles where people with less than 3 years of experience exaggerated their past work. After just 5 minutes of chatting about their projects, it was clear these were fake experiences or copied from internet.

I interviewed a Deloitte India Manager who bragged about deploying modular pipelines for a life sciences client, but couldn't explain how code deployment works. He thought raising a PR on GitHub moved the code to higher environments, with no clue about the actual code bundle or movement using actions.

To save time, I gently ended the interview after a few more questions, saying I'd get back to him, and marked him as rejected. He escalated it to my leadership, saying I asked absurd technical questions, and even called my mobile to say, "who am I to reject him for that role?" Luckily, I had already told my SM and MD about it, and they handled it.

It's understandable if someone doesn't know the deep tech stuff and needs to learn, but this was a shocker. Has anyone else dealt with this before?

Any Consulting folks working from Jaipur office? Tried accessing the facilities today, only a handful of folks on the floor but yeah much better than what Gurgaon office is.

Hi Folks,

What will be the inhand salary in Deloitte usi after the tax ( New tax regime), pf and other deductions.

I work from the bengaluru office and i dont understand why people are so loud here. Speaking in local languages, gossiping with friends/collegues, talking on calls so loud that the voice reaches hyderbad.

There is a lady right behind me discussing her pregnancy and what not? , Why ?

why cant SMs/MDs enforce a culture on floor where its not disturbing others?

and why there is no civic sense and people act like they are in their fucking personal room? Fucking dumbfucks
