Why did you choose to join this company?
At the time I simply wanted the experience of
working in a large professional services
organization. As I worked in various areas I
came to appreciate the special culture and the
ability to make a difference.
How did it meet your expectations?
The Deloitte U.S. Firms exceeded my
expectations. I have had several jobs, major
opportunities, traveled the world and made a
difference.
What does diversity in the workplace
mean for you and how does your current
employer meet those expectations?
Diversity has two major components for me.
First – we have to win the war for talent with
respect to race, gender and orientation. It is
important that we have the representation or
it will make the discussion theoretical.
However, the concept of inclusion is just as
important. We must develop an inclusive
environment that allows and encourages
everyone to grow.
In what capacity did you start working
here? What was your first day on the
job like?
I started as a technology Systems Analyst. The
first day was fairly boring as I didn't have
much to do! I actually wondered if I had made
the right decision. The second day really
started a varied and exciting career.
What were your challenges?
The main challenge was to build a network,
establish myself and understand the goals of
the organization.
How have you or circumstances
changed since then?
I have progressed through the organization,
the Deloitte U.S. Firms have grown
tremendously and responsibilities have
increased.
What are you proudest of about your
organization? What's the best thing
about working here? What is special?
The Deloitte U.S. Firms have a great culture…one that rewards
initiative, hard work and an environment that
allows you to really make a difference. |
