Wonderful and rewarding but takes very hard work.
Pros: Deloitte offers excellent training and networking opportunities. You can meet the best and the brightest of the industry here and with the right attitude there is a great potential for growth. Even if Deloitte is not a long term career stop for you it still has a great brand value in the market (In the US as well as outside).
Cons: Work Life balance does not always work out, even though HR and the firm leadership do sponsor and advertise programs promoting a balance. Given that the organization is Projectized, depending on the project and client the level stress varies.
Utilization plays a major part of your performance appraisal. If you do not meet your utilization target then other contributions dont matter much. If you meet your utilization targets then you need to have solid firm/people contributions to be eligible for higher YE ratings; which I agree with but in the long run can be exhausting since you get into an never ending rat race year after year.
