Why do you enjoy working in Tech?

Isabel, Consultant, Data Protection and Privacy, Risk Advisory: I enjoy my work at Deloitte because it involves working on cutting-edge and innovative privacy projects in the cyber security field. It inspires me to support our clients to translate privacy requirements into actual implementable actions and to help them protect their data. The work exposes me to different industries and clients, allowing me to apply my technical and interpersonal skills in diverse settings and grow professionally. This keeps me engaged and excited about my work.

Fiona, Consultant, Cyber Strategy, Risk Advisory: At work I am constantly exposed to new cyber challenges, and I learn about new topics every single day. For example, this week I learned about how large OT cybersecurity transformations are performed and how credit card security standards work. I like what I do because not only can I improve my technical skills in cyber security; I can also grow my interpersonal skills and effective communication skills.

Natalia, Analyst, AI & Data, Consulting: I enjoy working in Tech because I get to lead the end-to-end development of data products for international clients across business functions, and work with cutting-edge technologies and tools that are shaping the future of business and society. I also collaborate with experts in various industries, which provides a diverse and dynamic work environment.

Quyen, Consultant, Strategic Finance & Analytics, Financial Advisory: I enjoy analysing data and finding interesting insights which I then share with my stakeholders.​ I get to work with various tools, platforms, programming languages, and software, which enables me to learn a lot and develop your skills.​ I get to be involved in a variety of diverse tasks (workflow automation, adjustment of SharePoint site, creating dashboards, participating in internal initiatives and client projects) to address potential process improvements, solve business challenges, support decision making.​ My job allows me to constantly stay up-to-date with the latest technology trends and advancements, keeping my skills sharp and ensuring I remain at the forefront of the field.​

Why did you choose Deloitte?

Isabel: My journey at Deloitte began with a 6-month traineeship in the Cyber Risk team. I was immediately drawn to the strong team spirit, the entrepreneurial culture, and the focus on continuous learning and personal growth. Deloitte's commitment to supporting its employees' development is evident through its vast training opportunities and personal development leads. What's more, I was impressed by the company's efforts to empower women through a range of events, including panel discussions, networking opportunities, and courses such as Investing for Women.

Fiona: After completing an internship with Deloitte during my bachelor studies, I ultimately returned four years later because I had not encountered such a strong sense of team, mutual support and strive for learning elsewhere. Additionally, Deloitte provides a clear career path and I benefit from various training opportunities for both hard and soft skills. I can really feel that our personal development is put as a priority, and we are empowered to become better every day.

Natalia: My team is at the forefront of innovation and technology, while being very down-to-earth. Deloitte provides fantastic career progression and chances to work with various clients across multiple industries. I feel there are infinite learning opportunities, such as the graduate consultant bootcamp.

Quyen: Deloitte has a strong reputation in the industry and is known for its commitment to excellence and innovation.​ I was attracted to Deloitte's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and its efforts to create a supportive and inclusive work environment. Deloitte has a collaborative and team-oriented culture, which fosters a sense of community and support among employees.​ Deloitte also offers a wide range of services and opportunities for professional growth and development.​

Why should someone attend the Women in Tech (WiT) event?

Quyen: Attending the WiT event as a student was a valuable experience.​ The event provided an opportunity to get to know Deloitte and its Zurich offices. I learned about the different business lines and possible projects within the company.​ The event featured interesting presentations and activities that helped me gain a better understanding of the company's culture and values.​ I also had the chance to meet and network with other female participants and to empower each other.​

After the event, I become very interested in working at Deloitte and thus, I applied for the job here afterwards. ​

Overall, I found the event to be a worthwhile and fun learning experience that helped me expand my professional network!
