Brainwashed!
Pros: You can work with some really dedicated, honest, amazing people who care about their jobs.  Some of the  senior managment seem to care. 
Flexibility, sense of not really reporting to anyone.  Automony.
Some good folks all over the company that work to support you.
Cons: You become brainwashed that all this is normal.

1.) You forget why you wanted to quit when you started - get caught up in deloitte family while your family grows, laughs, develops on their own.  You  start to think 50-70hrs is normal.
2.) Success all about timing/right place at right time/who you work for/when to say no.
3.) Experienced hires get little respect/any training while homegrown get specialized training and are promoted at alarmingly fast paces and leads to future problems not addrsed.
4.) Harrassment - countless stories and witness to bad behavior/ frequent put downs/insults.
5.) Internal competition doesnt create a "conducive" work environment - breaks down groups.
6.) Sales - rainmaker - not in my undergrad/cpa training. "Break the rules" 
7.) Egomaniacs - see item 4.
