Success depends on project, division, role - but not for those with technical ambitions
Pros: The firm does a great job with leadership training, managerial skills, how to manage people, how to present (although I think Deloitte loves cramming PowerPoint slides with info to the point you need a magnifying glass). I worked in both consulting and enabling areas (one is external client-facing, the latter your clients are Deloitte divisions). Both have their stresses. Consulting has the pressure to meet utilization goals - you can't use all your earned PTO because it will affect your utilization. Enabling areas is an expense, so they essentially cram so much work it is impossible to have a typical 8 hour day (but allows full-time remote work). I learned a lot here, but my interests are in technical challenges, and Deloitte is not a technology-oriented firm. Projects a staffed with ten managers/strategy folks, and one developer. So value for those who would like to be in a culture where technical skills are valued, this might not be for you. If you want to learn how to manage people, motivate and present yourself externally to clients, this is a great training ground.
Cons: Lagging behind in the times, still uses older technology, culture is getting a bit old-fashioned and stuck in "management consultant" mode, lacking in innovation
