Career Pathing and development
Pros: Deloitte's selling point for young hires starting a career is that there is a clear development path and steps to promotion if you fit into the mold of a consultant. Someone that can handle both the technical and functional aspects of the work while having excellent social skills. If you can succeed in that space the sky is the limit here, if your limit is to one day be a Deloitte partner, or make it to Manager before leaving for industry.
Cons: Culture is tough in consulting generally and Deloitte is no exception. Firstly the culture is hegemonic and there is a prevailing groupthink dynamic. However, there is no immediate harm in going your own way and being yourself, but the people who advance tend to "drink the Kool-Aid" and have a similar view for how work should be sold and delivered. Furthermore, burnout is part of the bottom line calculation, this industry can grind you down if you are not careful and if you don't developed a good internal network.
