Great place to start a career, but make sure you have an exit strategy.  Few survive!
Pros: Wonderful infrastructure.  Incredible number of smart colleagues keep you at the top of your game.   A great place to learn.  They spend a lot of money on training & development.  Take advantage of it!
Cons: As you move up the chain of command, you discover that your success is NOT tied to your skills or ability, but, rather, it is tied to your political connections, and ability to connect with the "right" partners.   (not necessarily the "best", but the most powerful & politically influential).   Deloitte's business is run by a small group of very powerful partners, at the top of the "pyramid";  where they protect themselves by rewarding bad behaviors and promoting the politicians.    Innovation and "out-of-the-box thinking" are not rewarded, and barely tolerated, particularly by "staff".    For them "innovation" means coming up with a new template design, or figuring out  a way to charge the client for more "stuff".   

Over the last 5 to 6 years, Deloitte has lost its "soul".  They charge high prices and are more interested in "check-the-box" work, than in delivering true value to their clients.
