Employment status: former

Great for Workaholics!
Pros: 1) Very matrixed organization--individuals will find that they will often work with practitioners from other service areas and lines.
2) Great training opportunities.
3) Great for networking and career growth.
Cons: 1) Difficult work/life balance--it's an unwritten expectation, but once you join the firm, Deloitte IS your life...everything in your life after the work day to volunteer activities will probably be with the firm.
2) People and culture--the competitive culture of the firm both helps and harms the firm. While some practitioners are friendly and promote team work, there is also an overwhelming number of practitioners who are just too focused on helping themselves that basic ethical guidelines (yes, despite the many, many training courses that are mandated) and professionalism elude them.
3) Compensation package is not as attractive as other firms.
