As long as you know what you want.  Deloitte will open a lot of doors, and offer good growth opportunity.

* Surrounded by highly driven people
* Good diverse projects (if you push for them - See CON)
* Knowledgeable Partners
* Inspiring Board / Leaders
* Real focus on culture in recent years.
* Pays attention to professional / career growth
* Good opportunity to travel (if that's your thing - or a CON if that's not your thing)
* Great for grads to launch career (especially the diversity of projects)
Cons: Based on experience at Australian firm:

* Promotion not based on pure merit or capability - but on relationships & project success (rewards free-riders)
* Consulting model works on maximising revenue from utilising your skills - which may not coincide with what you want to do - i.e. you end up trapped on bad projects / stuck with same kind of projects.  
* But if you know what you want to do, and is willing to put in the time on bad projects to build your credibility & relationships within the firm with long term view of doing work you want.  Deloitte works for you.
* You will be overlooked unless you shout loud - it's not a place where you can let quality of work speak for itself.  You have to speak up to to build reputation in the firm.
