Like any other consulting firm
Pros: Opportunity for big projects which will expose you to many learning experiences and new opportunities for your career.
Cons: Promotions and recognition more based on how well you network and not necessarily on your actual work.

Their promotion and recognition process is literally based around 5 subjective questions where you give a rating from 1 to 5.  One question is really "If it was your money, would you give the highest possible compensation to this individual?"  How does that reflect any of the actual work or talent that individual has shown.  You request for your project managers, senior managers, directors, PPDs to fill out these 5 questions and if you get along with them you will do well.

Then all of the senior management people review your scores on these questions and decide if you get promoted or pay raises, even if you have never worked with these people on a project before.  So you can see how getting your name out there is the way to success here.

I have to be honest, some management and co-workers I have worked with are idiots who have no clue what they are doing yet they still get the credit because they piggyback off of the people actually working and getting things done.  

Deloitte says they promote diversity but really you have to conform to their Deloitte culture and be in the "in-crowd".
