There's a reason people do the 2-year thing.  Get in.  Get out!
Pros: Reputable company; "Big 4";  good benefits, i.e. health care and 5 weeks of vacation; Deloitte University; some good co-workers & friends; opportunities to volunteer;  Also, it must be noted that your experience at Deloitte will vary based on city and group.  It really boils down to the group of people you spend each day with...  So federal tax in NYC will be different from R&D credits in Chicago will be different from estate tax in San Fran.  It will behoove you to get SPECIFIC info about the group.
Cons: Management does not care about employees at all, whatsoever.  It is very homogenous at the partner level.  Salaries are below-market.  There is no such thing as work-life balance... you pretty much work to the bone and it becomes a grind.  Management plays favorites and you can be bypassed through no fault of your own.  Partners are very knowledgable, but many managers are dumb and unqualified, and you can get stuck working for people that do not appreciate you.  Additionally, it's true that other staff will throw you under the bus in order to make themselves look better and people constantly play the blame game, including partners.
