It was good while it lasted
Pros: There were certainly perks relating to the job - the prestige of working for one of the "big 4", decent benefits and lots of encouragement to further our skills through paid training courses.  There were opportunities to attend various social events and drinks were happening pretty regularly.
Cons: Through a complicated history, my department had originally been acquired from another company (years before I started), and after a few decades it was deemed as not profitable enough for Deloitte.  Admittedly, our department didn't really fit in with the Audit sector of Deloitte (eg. it was a bit of a pain having to deal with a lot of required paperwork regarding anti-money laundering etc, when it had little to no relevance to our department), but rather than moving us to a more fitting sector, we were sold off to what was one of our competitors.  I had been there for about 4 years, but for those whose whole careers had been spent at Deloitte, it felt like something of a betrayal.
