What perks are there to working with a Big 4?

Do they cover a cellphone bill? Mileage reimbursement?  Stuff like that.

Please share.

For d&t: Firm paid cell phone purchased through d&t plan but also becomes d&t property. Iphone is one of the options. If you leave the firm, you don't get to take it with you however. Cell phone monthly charges are usually partially reimbursed by the firm. Mileage is reimbursed depending on distance of travel to client site. 50% of monthly gym membership up to annual max of $300 paid by firm. Up to $10K tuition reimbursement per year for enrollment in school. Some other minor stuff like corporate discounts.

Hey, onlyregleft. Which state are you from? I'm starting with Deloitte in Miami in the Fall.  I just found out our fitness reimbursements is up to $500.  Thanks for the response.

What about a computer? Do Big 4 firms usually provide one?

Also, with regards to the cell phone (and the computer, if they give one too) are you allowed to use it for personal stuff too? I'm starting with Big 4 this fall, and I'm thinking about getting a smartphone. If they'll give me one when I get there, I'll just wait though.

Also, with regards to car mileage, I was told that you are reimbursed for the the mileage from your home to the client site, less the mileage from your home to headquarters.

I'm pretty sure every new Intern/Associate gets their own laptop at a Big 4 firm regardless of the department.
