A Great Place to Start Your Career
Pros: I worked for Deloitte for 6 years, straight out of university, and had a chance to learn and grow very rapidly. I worked across 4 different industries and sectors and several technologies. Starting about 3 years in, I was able to steer the direction of my assignments and choose projects that interested me. 
The organization's structure encourages promotion based on the achievements of the professional over the course of the year. It is not dependent on a "slot" opening up and fosters a culture of teamwork. Encouraging your peer and supporting his/her performance can make you both stronger candidates for promotion.
Cons: It was challenging to find the right balance between work and life outside of work. The travel was a factor in that, but much more so the hours worked. In much of the organization, there is a culture of underreporting hours to meet the minimum expectation for employees and stay within the project budget. That makes it hard to get projects staffed adequately and puts the pressure on the team while allowing senior leadership to meet financial targets.
