Hired by Deloitte? Congratulations! Now, get a job!
Pros: As a senior person, you have a chance to assemble and manage teams of the brightest analysts and consultants anywhere.  The firm is scrupulously ethical, and makes great use of technology in training, administration, etc.  I'd say the biggest draw (by far) is the pool of talented practitioners that are available for projects and proposals.
Cons: If you can figure out whom your boss is, you're already wrong...  The Partners (and Principals / Directors) wear a lot of hats (presumably to help justify the  numbers); your "engagement director" may have little influence on your ratings or bonus. And, they change chairs frequently.  You need to figure out quickly who can 'juice' your career, and hang your star on him/her.  Then, start over -- i'ts a new performance year!  But place a wrong bet, and find yourself in Siberia.  It's one way the culture weeds out the young'uns who "don't get it" or can't figure out how the place works -- but it seems like a stupid way to direct seasoned, experienced managers.
