Great everything - (minus) work life balance
Pros: - one of the best talent pools, so very smart people around
- good benefits structure
- good number of PTOs (about 25 a year)
- opportunity to work with biggest companies in the world in any industry and also interact with the C suites of these companies 
- Good travel benefits (best hotels, cars, all food)
- Deloitte University - one of a kind
- Widely respected in the industry as a Deloitte consultant
Cons: - Long long work hours (50 - 60 hours a week avg)
- Very tough to grow internally unless you have been with the firm really really long. They appreciate their own firm grown experience more than outside experience. Do not believe what the recruiter tells you about promotion after one year... there's no promotion after one year (for an experienced hire) in any level.
- Too much travel and often haphazard. You will find someone travelling from SFO to NYC and another guy travelling from NYC to SFO, from the same practice. They could have served their local clients easily with some better planning by Project leadership and HR.
- Too high quality expectation and leader are known to nit pick a lot.
- Weekend work is very very common
- PTO is generous, but that affects utilization which is primary thing for yearly appraisals. 
- Staff level (consultant, senior consultant) are deprived of good bonuses.
- Compensation is not as great as the hours of work.
