Audit Senior Associate
Pros: 1. Great networking opportunity as the majority of the people you start with will become close friends with the majority of them taking positions outside of Deloitte within 3 years.
2. Offices in every major US and worldwide city. I was able to transfer after my first year to basically any city in the US that I wanted to without much of a reason.
Cons: 1. The hours, the hours, the hours. Public Accounting in general wants you to believe that it is normal to work long hours. This is a lie. You aren't lucky when you have a 60 hour/week busy season, that's still 20 hours more than a normal work week. 
2. The client experience is so different from client to client that two people that start at the exact same time will have completely different experiences at Deloitte, and sadly as staff we have very little say in how we manage our career in the first few years. The company likes to say you can manager your career, and is very open to listening.... but the reality is that the majority of the staff and seniors stay less than 3 years and once people start leaving the firm has positions that they need to fill and those that stay get stuck on those clients that they didn't want to be on.
