Cons: once you have read all pros you might have thought i have given bad rating by mistake. No. please continue reading. but cons below applies for Technology/ SI service line. i am not very sure about other service line please ask extensive questions directly to HR relating to the cons i am writing before you join.

1. There are policy on top of all Deloitte policy which manager and senior management quote for technology folks which overrides all Deloitte delighted policies above.
2. Though swipe in and out is not recorded you, the estimations done in project level at senior level is very bad thus pressure pushes down and working hours for everyone pulls to 12-13 hours in average. i have seen this in all the projects across SI. Every minute and hour is accounted, you will have to give status everyday of every second in some projects. if time was gone is some analysis, you will have to explain how did that analysis took that time.
3. Flex from working from home depends on project. While in some projects they do allow with lot of permissions and conditions in rare cases. In other, they do not allow at all.
4. Laptop is only given, screens or desktop is not issued. thus you might suffer from backache and they don't care. and also most of the people get 12 inches laptops and there is no choice for laptop thus you end up coding in small screen all the time and it has very bad quality display.
5. Yes, use you pendrives to copy projects, softwares, etc from you friends machine no team provides support for any installation and its your responsibility to setup your machine and moreover you will not be given extra time for that. do it in you personal time.
6. enjoy the admin rights :D.
7. compliance team will keep sending you unnecessary mail.
8. everyone i know, who did not negotiated well end up in low compensation compared to others, no joining bonus and worst is wrong designation (lower than his experience), beware HR people here lie. like one of friend was told Deloitte has no joining bonus policy while other received upto 1 lack.
9. negotiation with them very hard, they do it, you have to have another offer.
10. there are 30 days leave but they don't approve your leaves. most of the people end up loosing the leaves in the end of year and also their encashment of leave is in basic salary.
11. Deloitte gives equivalent to LCA of H1B which is bare minimum to technology people for other fields like audit, finance they go higher but they do give car rental perks extra. but remember onsite is very rare and only limited to people who stay long in organisation and become their slave for 24 hours a day.
12. while negotiating they will keep on adding transport allowance showing your salary higher but it is not mentioned in annexure  of salary. but no doubt they pay in monthly salary.
13. Weekend : this is best part of Deloitte experience for technology guys, they tell you they work 5 days a week. but every friday SI folks receive a mail we will be working this weekend and you can't say no. and they do not give any comp off for that. no extra pay. only thing they will give you is food which is limited to pizza, burger, biryani. normal food is out of their budget. 
14. There is barely good technology projects, most of them are transfer solutions taken from one project written ages before, you keep on modifying them.
15. you cannot say no to a project, they will allocate you a project without your consent and without asking your aspirations, project manager will not even bother to welcome you to project in many cases, go and start working.
16. other than achieving your daily project tasks which will not be less than 10 hours work, there is mandatory 48 hours of english training +  40 hours of other domain training + min 40+ hours of activities which needs to completed.
17. And the best part : in mumbai office, folks do not have place to sit. so you can sit anywhere at your friends desk when he is on leave. borrow meeting rooms chair and sit in middle of desk anywhere but complete your work.

Enjoy Deloitte......
