Manager
Pros: Scale. Scale of he global firm. Rapid growth of USI S&O specifically
Deloitte as a company is stable, the biggest advantages being scale, global presence with offices in almost all major cities in the world
Usually employees are well taken care of when traveling overseas/to the client site from an expense perspective
USI gives you the ability to earn a US salary for at least a few months in a year, which boosts what is otherwise a very average India salary
Relatively peaceful (read passive aggressive) working environment - with some caveats
Cons: Rewards consistent mediocrity more than interesting, cool work
The USI model for management consulting (S&O) is screwed up in multiple ways. Yes, it is a glorified back office which has managed to lure in very smart/strong but naive practitioners
A lot of 'process' and admin work that's not just hard to avoid but you're actually measured on it
Significant disparity on how practitioners in the US are treated vs the way people in USI are treated across multiple dimensions - nature of work, work life balance, roles, network and growth opportunities, compensation etc
