Great development opportunities, happiness can be directly tied to SrM/Dir on project
Pros: Incredible development opportunities: After being stalled at my last job for four years, Deloitte invested over $25,000+ in certifications for me in my first 4 months on the job.

Prestige: being a part of a Big 4 Firm is always a feather in your cap regardless of where you go afterward. Even for the challenges they will throw at you, I would encourage anyone to take the opportunity to work at Deloitte if you get an offer.

Accountability: I have never worked with anyone who did not ultimately own the quality of the end product. Sure you get people at any job trying to punt it over the fence to you, but ultimately everyone takes quality very very seriously.
Cons: Middle management: I never had difficulty working with Analysts, Consultants, Sr Consultants or Partners. Managers, Sr Managers and Directors have now ultimately caused me to choose to resign from the Firm. Even as a high performer I have been micromanaged, second-guessed, talked behind my back and manipulated by Managers, Sr Managers and Directors I have encountered. I truly believe Firm Leadership has a great vision for the Firm. However, when the rubber meets the road, middle management bears down on the worker bees to deliver on whatever promises were made to the Client by the Partner, regardless of the timeline/resources.

Benefits: are extremely expensive for what you get, it is much less expensive for me to use my significant other's benefit plan for a more generous level of benefits.
