LRA by Deloitte - Free flights and Empty Promises... - Senior Consultant LRA Worldwide Employee Review

First off, do not be fooled by the addition of "By Deloitte" attached to the name. While your paycheck says Deloitte and technically you work for a company under their umbrella, you DO NOT work for Deloitte and at no time during your tenure will it feel like it. LRA still operates as a small independent company and treats their employees as such. If you are in the market to travel for a few months/years, without having a concern for your next career move, then this may work out for you. But if you have any desire to better your career and join a company that truly values your experience and drive, as well as you personally…work elsewhere! Additionally, if you are an experienced hire, just a heads up that the Consultant role is an entry level position. This will be obvious through the micro-managing you will receive and your compensation. The travel aspect can be looked at as a pro and con. While you get free flights and decent travel perks, your Monday's usually begin around 4am and your Friday's end no earlier than 10:00 PM.   The management at LRA is ill-equipped, selfish, inexperienced and full of people who are in positions that they are clearly not qualified for. I reiterate the "inexperienced" part, as the middle management, or Operations Mangers, on several accounts have no clear skillset and genuinely seem useless in their roles. In addition to less than stellar leadership, advancement is not something that LRA seems interested in for its associates and the company itself is certainly not booming with opportunities. If you are selected to switch accounts, most movement occurs laterally, in the form of the same job title and the same rate of pay, just on a different account. I can recall in my last year with the company getting less than 3 notifications from HR and management letting the team know that opportunities were available for internal transfer. This spoke to the culture of selfish leadership, where they would rather stifle your career and keep you in the same place, than to be responsible for your development and allow you to move within the company leaving them with a position to fill.   Overall, the cons certainly outweigh the pros from my time at LRA by Deloitte. While the concept is wonderful and they are an industry leader in the field, the leadership is ruining the reputation and the operation of this company from the inside out. I would not recommend spending any portion of your career with this company.
