Wants to be cool but too risk averse to be cool
Pros: Deloitte employs smart people and has them engaged in a wide variety of projects. If you want to do public sector, health care, mobile development, mergers and acquisitions, technology platform implementations, or whatever else, you can do it all at Deloitte.

Deloitte University shows how Deloitte is putting its money where its mouth is in developing its people. Once I attended DU, I knew I had a company that was really trying to change the game in consulting.

There is a common sense that Deloitte Consulting is in the upswing and is clearly taking away work from all other consultancies whether they be strategy firms, digital agencies, or major platform implementers. Deloitte is also attracted people away from these other firms which speaks volumes to how people are perceiving Deloitte.
Cons: Deloitte's roots are in audit and tax. Even though the majority of our revenue comes from consulting only, our culture and perception is seen as an audit and tax firm. Deloitte Consulting's leadership talks about innovation and is trying to do things differently but at the end of the day there is this engrained corporate culture of making slides for execs that are hard to read and 99% of them never see the light of day at the end of a project. If you look at how a startup or tech company operates, they do things. They follow agile principles and realize that a public product is better than extensive documentation. This is not the approach Deloitte takes.
