Great place to learn and grow, with a sacrifice of work-life balance
Pros: The company tries their best to provide maximum learning opportunities. Various online learning classes and many socializing opportunities are available (and required).
For pre-manager level, promotion is mostly based on the years you've worked, so unless you get extremely bad review (which is rare), you will be promoted together with "classmates" you joined the company with. In some ways it feels like a collage (they do call their training facility "Deloitte University").

A lot of smart people, sometime it's hard to catch up and you will be required to put a lot of effort, but it will all pay off in the form of personal growth.
HR are very resourceful and helpful. Talking to them helped me a lot while setting 
 my career at Deloitte to the direction of my interest.
Good benefit with generous PTO. Many working women and supportive environment.
Cons: Hard to maintain work-life balance (Could vary team to team). 
During busy season, working on the weekend were default. A lot of team politics (especially on the large team)...again, in a way it's like a college.
Due to the promotion/incentive system (low focus on performance), it was hard for me to keep motivation. 
Employer's diversity was not the hottest topic at the time of my employment - most of people had similar background in my office (i.e. over 80% are graduates from the same collage, high ratio of Caucasian vs other demographic), making it challenging to be a part of the group for people who doesn't fall into the category.
