A decent place to start, but get out early
Pros: Deloitte provides decent experience and exposure to different projects and industries. There are some benefits from projects, such as traveling or working remotely, if you get on the right ones. Sometimes if your project is short-staffed or there are budget cuts, you'll take on more responsibilities that are managerial, which is somewhat exciting if that's what you're looking for. DU is also fun, but gets old after the 8th time. 
What I probably like best about Deloitte is that exit opportunities are nice. As a Big Four employee who has a CPA, I was able to find a job relatively quickly with just 2 years of experience under my belt. I'm sure many others can say the same.
Cons: As an employee of Deloitte Advisory, my home practice had very limited projects, and the culture there became increasingly toxic and hard to stand as the years went on - i.e. when you're not busy, it's the right time to get super involved in business politics. I also experienced stretches of terrible work-life balance, which came from short-staffed projects led by managers that don't really have lives of their own. The biggest red flag is really just looking up at people beyond the Senior Consultant level and thinking, "Wow, I would hate to be any of these people."
