Great place to discover yourself
Pros: Deloitte is a great place to begin one's career after finishing college. The amount of responsibility you can get and the exposure to key client personnel is amazing--it's incomparable to your friends in industry. If on a travelling assignment, the perks are superb. In my four years with the firm I have gained experience with all aspects of the software development lifecycle: requirements gathering, functional design, development, functional testing, and performance testing. Additionally, I have supervised small teams ranging in size from three to twelve.
Cons: If you are in the Systems Integration service line of the Technology service area, and in Public Sector, don't even think about work/life balance. The firm becomes a major part of your life. The firm undersells their Public Sector contracts to remain competitive and ends up burning out some of their stars.
