Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Confirmed

Have an exit strategy when you start unless you want to be a partner or director.
Pros: -Great opportunities to learn and grow.
-This job will teach you how to network and why that is an important thing to do, even if you hate it.
-Lots of exposure to different clients, industries, and higher level executives.
-The travel perks can be nice.
Cons: -It's a burnout cruise.  Make sure you have friends and a life outside of work before you start.  This job doesn't leave you a lot of time to develop personal relationships and hobbies.
-Internal politics, it's not what you know, it's who you know and what they think of you.  Evaluations and promotions seemed like a popularity contest.
-Lots of insecure people who are full of themselves, and have nothing to talk about outside of Deloitte work life.
-You will get lots of time off, but you only get to use it when Deloitte says you can (not very often).  It's hard to plan real vacations without them being cancelled or rescheduled.
-The constant travel gets old quickly, especially if you're flying across the country every week.
-Internal firm initiatives you are forced to participate in
