Super

Interessante Aufgaben

Ich bin seit zehn Jahren dabei, in verschiedenen Rollen. Ich habe mich noch nie gelangweilt. Wenn du dich engagierst kannst du wirklich einen Impact generieren und an tollen Projekten arbeiten.

Kommunikation

Auf verschiedensten Ebenen, aber man muss seine E-Mails schon lesen, wenn man wissen will, was los ist

Gleichberechtigung

Ich glaube 55 Nationalitäten, immer mehr Frauen, Immer diverserer Background... und jedenfalls eine inklusive Kultur

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Es kann nicht jeder Partner werden, daher natürliche Fluktuation je älter desto mehr, aber seit ein paar Jahren gibt es auch immer mehr Spezialisten auf Senior Manager und Direktor Ebene, die karrierenässig dort enden, aber trotzdem bleiben. Das ist eine positive Entwicklung.

Karriere / Weiterbildung

Es gibt sehr viel, aber die Moral der Mitarbeitenden ist nicht besonders gut, was das betrifft. Short-Notics-Cancellations für Trainings sind an der Tagesordnung und dann wird gejammert, es gäbe nicht so viel

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

Vollkommen okay, aber man ist ja nie zufrieden ;-)

Umwelt- / Sozialbewusstsein

Green Journey, man könnte mehr machen

Work-Life-Balance

Es ist kein 9-5 Job, aber bietet Agilität soweit der Kunde es zulässt. Dieses agile Working wird von ganz oben ausdrücklich gefördert. In manchen Bereichen geht es super, in anderen schwieriger, aber es herrscht ein generelles Umdenken.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Teilweise immer noch kleine Königreiche der einzelnen Partner. Es ist wesentlich besser, seit die neue Geschäftsleitung da ist (etwas mehr als zwei Jahre), da weggegangen wird von „Sales geht über alles“ und Kooperation ein Must have ist.

Pro

Sehr innovativ und unternehmerisch. Wenn du pro-aktiv bist, stehen dir alle Möglichkeiten offen. Themen wie Diversity & Inclusion, Responsible Business (CSR) uns Empowered Well-being sind keine Lippenbekenntnisse, sondern werden ernst genommen.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

- No integration with the existing team.
- Managers in a higher position (senior consultant) ignored the analysts on a daily basis - no team building.
- Criticism, dishonesty, no transparency from managers with a higher position.
- Massive conflict of interest as our supervisor was the niece of the director.
- We were not invited to participate to the team meeting.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The organization, the communication, the integration, the goals, and the tasks allocation were a disaster. Work had to be done several times in a row because of miscommunication and lack of organization from the managers. Training was required for us (new hire) to be functioning rapidly. However, the manager in charge of the project did not organize such training or answered our questions. As a consequence, the project was delayed, we were blamed for the lack of output due to their disorganization, the workload increased, and an unpaid weekend extra work was requested. Summary: Poor project management and general management skills from the managers.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

The older team (senior managers) was very unpleasant to work with, in contrary with the younger team (consultants & analysts), which was welcoming and pleasant to work with.

Interessante Aufgaben

No previous knowledge was required for this position. No learning opportunity, routinized work, manufacturing-type of functions. Employees are replaceable. Not interesting tasks!

Kommunikation

Communication with the managers was the worst: they didn't know how to give constructive feedback, to deal with conflicts and to talk respectfully to solve one: Screaming and sarcasm were used instead of wise communication when a problem arises. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL

Gleichberechtigung

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

The older team is very unpleasant to work with: unrespectful behavior, ethically incorrect way of talking, no possibility of engaging a legit discussion about payday/holiday/weekend work without getting screamed on/ no and ignoring greetings in the morning. However, the younger team of consultants & analysts was welcoming, and it was nice to work with them.

Karriere / Weiterbildung

The learning opportunities are very small. As the work is routinized, the learning curve can become flat very fast over time (6-8 months). The possibility to get a promotion within a year is very thin.

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

Saturday-Sunday work (when needed) was not paid either compensated (which is illegal in CH). Salary was ok.

Arbeitsbedingungen

- No respect for the employees in lower positions (Mobbing-ish behavior & intensive Micromanagement). I never felt so unmotivated by the leadership of a company. The intense micromanagement, disorganization and the lack of constructive feedbacks end up to be very unproductive and poorly impacted the project.

- Superiors' way of talking & behaviors were (most of the time) ethically incorrect and disrespectful

- Massive conflict of interest as our supervisor was the niece of the director.

- No career opportunities in higher positions.

- No inspiring role-model for thriving work experience.

- Saturday-Sunday work (when needed) wasn't paid nor compensated (which is illegal in CH). HR and other structures that should exist to protect the employees were inefficient.

- THE KITCHEN IS A SMOKING ROOM; the smell goes everywhere and the whole office smells like a cold ashtray every morning.

- The 6th floor of the building is a hookers club (office on the 5th floor)

Fact: 4 consultants resigned within a period of 6 months. Majority of the remaining employees are looking for another work opportunity elsewhere.

THE KITCHEN IS A SMOKING ROOM

Work-Life-Balance

Jan-Feb-March months are very busy because of the fiscal season. After this period, the working hours become softer.

Deloitte Tax Reporting Services (part of Deloitte Luxembourg) is a small team of 20 French-speaking persons. Not to be mistaken for Deloitte Switzerland.

Contra

- Communication
- Organization
- People skills
- Respect towards other employees
- Unprofessionalism from the managers and the directors
- Working Atmosphere / Culture
- Location & the smocking office

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Unsurprisingly, in audit you will be working long hours under a lot of pressure particularly during busy season. Honestly, it's nothing short of catastrophic.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

As mentioned, backstabbing, incompetent mangers with lack of leadership skills. I really can't put it any other way.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

You shouldn't let the superficial friendliness of you colleagues, particularly managers fool you. They'll stab you in the back at the first occasion.

Interessante Aufgaben

If you enjoy audit, sure. You'll get to see different companies from different industries and that can be interesting. However, especially as a new joiner, you'll be doing very monotone tasks that are very boring.

Kommunikation

Basically non existent. You'll get a bunch of e-mails in the typical corporate design from partners/managing partners that are not relevant to you and you don't have time to read anyway. The really important information you'll have to gather from your peers.

Gleichberechtigung

Yes, as a women you'll get preferential treatment and there are efforts to support women in general but that's not really "equality" in my view.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

As mentioned in other comments, either you make it to partner, of you leave be company before your 45th birthday (probably a lot sooner).

Karriere / Weiterbildung

Certainly one of the better points. The audit exam is paid for by Deloitte but beware, you may end up having to pay back a part if you leave the company too early.

Gehalt / Sozialleistungen

At first glance fine, however if you calculate you'll hourly wage more on the low side. Certainly not the biggest issue here.

Arbeitsbedingungen

As a new joiner pretty bad to be honest. You'll be working on a slow laptop with a very small screen at the client site a lot otherwise "hotdesking" is the key word here and that's not a good thing.

Umwelt- / Sozialbewusstsein

Honestly, given how much paper is wasted due to unnecessary printing, pretty catastrophic.

Work-Life-Balance

Obviously work-life-balance is a joke, but it probably isn't any different at any of the other Big 4 to be fair.

Image

As mentioned, they refer to the Big 3 in Switzerland for a reason (and Deloitte is not among the Big 3 to be clear). Just look and see how many SMI companies are audited by Deloitte. It's not a coincidence.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

• Honestly, I'd give up on Swiss audit completely and focus on consulting, which seems to be a lot better in Switzerland.

Pro

They have nice Nespresso coffee machines at the office.

Contra

The many points mentioned above.
