Don't join Deloitte for Marketing Cloud consulting
Pros: Talented team members. Very strong in resources and equipment. When not on project, there is a lot of flexibility for where you work and when. 

Client names are also strong for the CV.
Cons: Implementation projects are very few for Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and it is a roll of the dice whether you get to do an implementation or business analysis. If you're looking to grow technical knowledge and experience this is the wrong place. 

Marketing Cloud sits under the Marketing advisory practice, so consultancy is more about marketing than it is about running tech implementations.

The career pathway is also very political and specific - to rise in Deloitte you need to know people, you need to manage people, and you need to be strong at sales. As an implementation specialist this was wrong for me as my skills were in technical knowledge and sales/politics is not the career pathway I'm interested in. It also does not encourage getting more certified or increasing tech knowledge as these have nothing to do with building your career at Deloitte.

Pay is not competitive. Deloitte relies on its name for getting candidates, as the relative market pay and benefits package is poor. 

Health insurance is feeble, it only partly discounts NHS treatments.
