Pros: Deloitte hires very good people that you generally want to spend time with.  The company also occasionally does interesting work, but that might be the exception rather than the rule.
Cons: Partners identify people early that they they like and use again and again for projects.  If you're not on someone's short list, you take what you can get and frequently get stuck on less desirable assignments.  Also, when it comes to downsizing, you're on a new short list.  In addition, all of those valued "firm activities" don't mean anything when it comes to who stays and who goes.
