Great way to build experience and your career
Pros: * Generous benefits (healthcare, disability, 401K, etc.)
* Copious PTO (although finding time to take it can be a challenge!)
* Wealth of career development, mentoring/counseling, leadership development, and training opportunities
* State of the art training facility/hotel (Deloitte University) in Westlake, TX (whenever you get sent to training at DU, you're excited about it!)
* Project-based work means you're always working with a different team, client, problem, setting, location every few months/years so you don't get bored (challenging work helps you build a lot of great experience)
Cons: * Work-life balance: If you're in a role where you travel to client sites, the travel can get overwhelming (80%+ travel)
* Performance management requirements can be annoying, overwhelming, administrative (you have to have yourself and others evaluate you during and after every project, and at the midpoint and end of the fiscal year.  If you're on multiple projects, this can be a lot of evaluations!)
* Project-based staffing is not yet entirely considerate of your desires (e.g., being in a certain location/region or being on a certain type of project).  You basically need to go wherever they send you
