"Great Career Starter"
Pros: If you begin a career at Deloitte, you can pretty much write your own ticket if you decide to leave in a few years. You get exposure to the full gamut of public accounting in just about any industry you can think of. It's a fast paced learning environment, so you are rarely ever bored. Career promotion and progression has a pretty standard, linear structure. The resources of Deloitte as a whole offer varying opportunities to travel both domestically and abroad. Who doesn't love that!
Cons: The hours during busy season really are as bad as they say they are. Compensation at the starter level isn't as competitive as you would expect for a Big Four firm. You work yourself to the bone for what seems like minimum wage once you factor in all of your overtime hours with your static salary. Diversity wasn't as celebrated as I would have expected.
