Place of dancing, events, SINS, girls... except technology
Pros: Brand name:
Deloitte management is skilled enough to create a brand name. The name itself attracts lot of poeple, even from companies like Cisco, SAP labs, I see people from these product companies working in Deloitte. Why did they come, well the status quo of big 4 and the name Deloitte.

Culture:
I would definitely corroborate Deloitte than other big 4 firms atleast in Bangalore. It introduces nice culture, most managers are good and are ready to listen. The laptop provided is used for both personal and professional use except downloading. You can access any website(facebook, youtube etc etc).

Networking:
As this is a manager driven company, Deloitte encourages its employees to have its own professional network to grow. It's better to say that you need to oil your manager indirectly.

Promotions:
Yes, if you are lucky(Luck is a deterministic word in Deloitte which I shall say in the cons) you can get promotions, onsite everything at one go.

And also people, who are looking for office romance, this can be a place for you. ;)
Cons: Technology:

Yes, you are right. This is not for technical people. First of all, Deloitte Bangalore office is not a development centre. It is a hub of testing projects. Now you may think that I know perl/Python along with Selenium but then Deloitte will disappoint you. They are mostly manual testing as client requires manual testing most of the time. I have seen selenium/python people are in bench and management is searching for these people with a search warrant .

Communication:
People especially from development, I have seen them confidently saying absolute illogical statements regarding technology architecture. Even in 2016, Deloitte strongly suggests it's clients for Database driven architecture(people with slightly technical knowledge will faint after hearing this) and charges lot of money. Several times, the applications bottleneck, testers and developers will lose their sleep , managers will shout, everyone joins the fray and one by one, people start resigning. I have seen this happening to lot of projects.

Luck:
As I already mentioned, luck is a deterministic word in Deloitte. It depends on how long your project runs and when do you join the project. Now if you join a project which just kick started(my case) and if it is running for a long time(atleast for one year), Deloitte will shower all its blessings to you. You will get promototed from BTA to Consultant to Senior Consultant within every 2-3 years. Yes, definitely you should also have capability but the client should also depend on Deloitte to that extent. Otherwise no matter how much you work, how good you code , you will always get stuck behind the principle of hours. Rome was not built in a day. You should forget the quote if you want to grow and earn promotion here.
