Make your own career
Pros: Deloitte is enormous and every team is quite different - this means that there are endless opportunities. Some of these opportunities are miserably boring and others are fascinating. The company does not do a very good job of ensuring that you are connected with the fascinating opportunities but if you are motivated and really take control of your own career then it is fairly easy to switch between projects, teams, and parts of the company to get yourself into the work that you want to be doing. 
The alternative travel policy is amazing and allows employees to travel anywhere in the country on weekends (if you are on a travel project). 
Deloitte lets you keep your points which makes traveling a bit easier to stomach.
Cons: Deloitte doesn't have very good knowledge management internally so it can be very hard to find out what other projects are going on across the firm. Additionally, the best projects are staffed through the people you know not through a process of matching people to projects which means that building your network is extremely important. I have enjoyed this element of Deloitte but I know that many people struggle with this and would prefer for the company to take a more active role in matching people with projects.
