Deloitte Employer Reviews

Great company, great people to work with. Good training ground, good flexible working hours.

This is a great company to work for and one can work on hundreds different projects during the year.
It is an interesting challenge but it helps you to become a better person as your skills are examined and enhanced.

My work at Deloitte was very varied. I carried out tasks such as writing and presenting reports, shadowing partners and attending client meetings. My co-workers and managers were very friendly and helpful and there was a great team atmosphere. The most enjoyable part of my job was being given the responsibility to carry out tasks that would usually – more... be reserved for full-time graduates. I felt very rewarded when I completed a task and was keen to take on board any feedback offered. – less

If im not booked to work at a client im either helping with planning future audits or studying for an exam. It just depends on the time of the year as January to April is usual the peak period. A typical day is spent at the clients office where we test the clients financial statements to determine whether they present a true and fair view as well as – more... whether the statements are prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards.

The best part of the job is the exposure that comes with it as we work for a wide range of businesses and industries. The hardest part of the job is the long hours especially during the peak period as we have deadlines set and have to conduct audits for many companies in a short period of time. However, this is only during the peak season and the hours do not last throughout the whole year.

I have learned that being an auditor is beyong the mere number crunching and accounting skills. As an auditor it equally important to have interpersonal skills such as speaking confidently as we have to deal with clients and also audit managers.

I firmly believe that audit although its a challengind profession, is a great place to begin a career in the financial sector. – less

I have a structured list of tasks to carry out daily. Its a target based work environment. Therefore, I work towards achieving daily goals.

Its a very good environment to gain varied experience and skill.

Management and co-workers are very supportive and helpful towards our individual progress at work.

The challenging part of my job is achieving – more... targets weekly.

The most enjoyable part of the job is never having a dull moment at work. – less

I would like to say my placement at Deloitte has been a productive and enjoyable one as I've been given full training and the use of tools I would be expected to use to be able to do my job correctly and efficiently.
There is definately a good atmosphere and a good work ethic here as I believe this is reflected through peoples attitudes towards their – more... work and colleagues.
The hardest part of my job is the management of getting all the users scheduled in and on time as a lot of this revolves around other employees meetings and lunches etc.
I believe the most enjoyable part is meeting and greeting all the various people that are coming into the PC replacement desk and delivering them brand new hardware to use. – less

Deloitte is a great place to start a career. I had the chance to work with many clients, large and small, and was exposed to a range of business issues. The fast paced nature of the work allows self motivated consultants to thrive and the culture of development creates a good framework for career advancement.

At Deloitte I developed from a fresh eyed – more... economics graduate into a business analyst that can bring real value to clients and teams. I developed interpersonal skills in management and relationship building as well as technical skills in data analysis and presenting information. – less

Great job, very friendly environment. Very challenging, i get in at 7 am leave at 5pm take care of all the office work. Assist everyone with there needs.

Assesment of work completed by case reviewers to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements / guidelines and internal procedures. Providing feedback and guidance, identifying individual training needs as well as generic trends and providing solutions to problems.

I have to work with a range of individuals from recent graduates in their first job – more... to highly experienced professionals - this granted me the opportunity to further develop my communication, team working and coaching skills. As we work in a highly targeted environment, being able to adapt to changing needs and work-streams as well as taking on additional tasks when required is a necessity. Being prepared to go that extra mile when the occassion arises is important but having a close knit team able to work well together makes the demands of the job more manageable and enables us to meet team and project targets.

I enjoy the work I do; utilising technical knowledge while regularly interacting with colleagues as well as internal and external stake holders provides a good variety and keeps the job interesting. My attention to detial, ability to learn fast, analyse large volumes of data and identify problems / solutions puts me in good stead on a daily bases. – less

Good working environment,
a great day everyday,
Good management,
colleagues are fantastic,
everything is enjoyable

Best place to launch your career. I've been serving several entities in the financial services industry, and it's been very educational. The leadership of the engagements and the firm want you to get a lot of exposure to various parts of the audit, and you learn a lot. The compensation is competitive amongst other Big Four, but sometimes feels too low. – more... Bonuses don't really exist. You get paid in experience. Benefits are very good. – less

My work revolves around those making Payment Protection Insurance Claims. I have my own caseload and a typical day at work generally consists of following a set chase cycle where I am requesting for information from the lenders, policy providers and in addition information from the claimants.

For the files that I already have, I have to type letters – more... to these parties and also enter information on a spreadsheet. Then I have to send the letters once signed by my line-manager via post.

We have a set database which reminds us of the chase letters we need to send each day. Therefore most of the day consists of completing those tasks.

In the mid-morning we get new cases. The number varies, as on someday we can get one and on busy days we can get up to 20! For these new files which we call 'initial requests', I have to enter information on an internal database (Siebel), re-organize the file, scan and photocopy the declaration from the claimants (as well as marriage/death certificates) and send first request letters to the parties mentioned above- after they are signed.

Throughout the day I have to answer calls from claim management companies and claimants who would be inquisitive on what they need to do to help their claim be processed ASAP. I also receive post from the lenders and policy providers, so I link them to their file from my caseload cabinet.

On a daily basis I have a target of handing in 4 cases. A 'workable' case means that I have the information from the all mentioned parties and all the information re-confirmed from them matches with that provided by the claimant. If not then I can phone or re-request the information. Interest rates and term of mortgage are the variables that you need to be really careful about as there may be slight discrepencies (which if picked up by the Claims Handling Unit=, would mean the case is returned). I am also judged on the quality of work, which each week has to be above 95%.

I am part of a team, whereby if we are unsure we ask each other questions and help each other out. Or if a team member is absent then we have to take care of their cases and make sure the chase cycle is followed correctly.

The management is ok, we just communicate if we need to book some time off work or if there are changes to the whole procedure.

The hardest part of the job is working around the clock as time flies by! For most of the day we can feel like we are on top of things but then come 16:00p.m., we can get a new bulk of work to do. Therefore this job definitely involves prioritizing! Thus on some days I have started at 7:45 a.m. and finished at 10:00 p.m. – less
