Fair Pay, Boring Projects, Disrespectful Superiors
Pros: Name Recognition - Deloitte Consulting is genuinely a recognizable name among business school and other employers.  Relative to working with a small company, I think that bigger companies offer employees more choice as to where they will go after they leave.
Cons: Culture is very draconian and hierarchical.  There were many times when rank was invoked out of nowhere to prove a point, rather that using data to prove a point.

Most projects have literally nothing to do with what most would consider management consulting.  It is high-price temping at best.

There is no support for new people.  Do not count on superiors to lead you through.  Very sink-or-swim environment.  My best advice is to keep your head down, don't drink too much at their constant, and constantly awkward, office parties, and grit your teeth for two years.
