Upside - Career Development, Downside - Compensation is a joke
Pros: Fantastic opportunities to grow, network and work with senior clients (CXO's, VPs, Directors). Culture supports new ideas as long as you are able to sell it and put the horsepower behind it to make it happen. If you are driven and self-motivated you will do well here. Have grown x100 during my time in the firm and after 3 years at Deloitte (after graduation) I believe I am on-par with many senior managers and IT architects working in industry for 10+ years.
Cons: Compensation, compensation, compensation. Growing up through the firm you get "nothing" and are expected to work for free. Despite lots of "communication" about retaining EP performers, the firm is not living up to it. "PAY" is king, Deloitte is about making money, so are their employees. However, the firm is intent on selling us on their so-called value proposition of growth and other compensation, i.e. benefits +other stuff. At the end of day, I need to make money and grow financially. Deloitte will not give you that if you grow up through firm. Instead, jump around to around companies than come here. You will make at least 20% more than idiots like us who stay here and get promoted through the ranks. Am I bitter? Yes.
