Disappointed Experienced Hire
Pros: Deloitte's annual raises seem pretty good, and the road to Partner is achievable (if you know the right people). On average, Deloitte pays experienced hires pretty well.
Cons: Although on paper Deloitte advertises a work life balance, in practice (at least in the Sacramento State Practice) this is not so. Most local projects make you work abnormal hours (although in consulting longer work hours are expected, however a constant 14 to 15 hr day for over a year is not normal consulting hours). What's more, many managers use intimidation and even verbal abuse to get people to put in those extra hours (that really just hide their lack of good project management and planning).
