A good place to cut your teeth
Pros: Deloitte is an excellent place to learn business fundamentals.  I started as an analyst with minimal credentials and left as a confident business person.  I got to travel and support very challenging projects which greatly improved my business acumen and executive presence.
Cons: Deloitte is a big company and, as such, it is a serous challenge to evaluate everyone's performance especially when everyone's job is so different.  I was a top performer but consistently earned meager compensation increases.  You must be politically connected to the influential partners in order to succeed.  I did not play these games and suffered as a result.  Another issue is staffing.  The resource managers are not helpful in finding opportunities for you.  Instead, the report to service line leadership on what the "unemployment rate" is rather then deploying resources against project needs.  I support entrepreneurialism until you get some practitioners working two projects and others living the dream on "Deloitte-welfare".  These same practitioners will get a similar year end rating if the former is not well connected and the latter is.
