Audit Manager
Pros: The Brand but it is hyped up. I guess, if you leave early in the career, you fair well.
Cons: Very few Partners are invested in people. To be sucessful, you have to play a game and find right people.

They will push clients/assignments to you just because of need, which, are not a great fit for you. This will ultimately hurt you in long run.

They plan to reduce US workforce since the PCAOB recently took away the cap requirement of outsourcing work to India.

The Partners have unreasonble demand. I joined a new internal group that was not sustainable since the firms partner had no clear strategy. 

It is not one Deloitte. It is like a Franchise, every partner or member firm does what he/she wants to do. There is no Collaboration. This results in lot of wastage in resources (time + money).

Some SM really get away with doing nothing since they are great pretenders. While others really know the accounting guidance thoroughly but are not very successful. 

Work-life balance is unrealistic and unreasonable. 

The coach assigned has no clear idea on your performace or expectations including the M & SM you might report to. You will hear conflicting information.
