Looks nice on the outside, inside is a different story
Pros: Highest salaries in the consulting business. Really great people in the (very small) Life Sciences practice.
Cons: Beware if you're interviewing with TS&A--there are a lot of people on the bench and quiet layoffs going on right now. The culture at Deloitte is very toxic, both to peers and to clients. There is more emphasis placed on doing "practice development" work than on client delivery and it shows. Expect to work 7 days a week and if you're a manager or above, kiss your friends and family goodbye. Backstabbing is rampant. You will have no choice in what projects you work on--Deloitte's Strategy clients are pretty much all Financial companies so if that's not an industry you want to focus in then don't join. Deloitte is looking to make their Strategy groups into a pool of generalists who they think they can bid on any type of job. Leadership is extremely arrogant and treats people like children--it really bothers me that you're called a "first year" or "second year" relative to your job level and the industry you choose to focus in is called your "major." I mean, come on we're all adults here! Look into the study done on life expectancies of former Deloitte partners, very interesting.
