Deloitte Consulting will give as much as you can take, and take as much as you will give.
Pros: • Great projects, of any variety you can imagine
• Opportunity to work with almost any company across the globe
• Brilliant colleagues, who epitomize consulting, and span the gamut of functional and industry expertise (e.g., even when you don't know the answer or how to do something, someone at Deloitte does)
• Incredible learning culture that completely supports growth and development (e.g., MBA, professional and technical certifications, etc.)
Cons: • Deloitte will take as much as you give, so it's easy to work too hard (and yes, that's a real thing)
• Internal projects, thoughtware development, R&D and business development are a job requirement, in addition to full time client service projects, which is not how all Consukting Firms operate (good for the firm, tough on work-life integration)
• The performance management and compensation process has been in flux during my entire tenure with the firm
