Dont believe the hype this will end your career
Pros: -Good PTO
-Great maternity leave
-Nice to have extra holiday time
Cons: -Absolutely no career advancement. When I was hired on I was told there are tons of growth options because I have a degree. I raised my hand and leaned in to every opportunity that came my way but was passed over 8 times in one year. After talking to other admin it can take 8 to 10 years to find a lateral role in another department. I was later told by a manager that Deloitte simple doesnt have a lot of advancement options. 
-There is a strict anti-bullying policy but if your a partner or well liked you can bully whomever you please. I had a nasty partner for two years, I had taken him on after his former admin had a breakdown. When we finally parted ways it was because he had ask for a new admin not because I had complained for two years about being bullied. 
-Dont bother complaining to your manager about anything. They are more interested in covering their butt then having your back. 
-Dont bother reporting to the hotline. While there is an anti-retaliation policy it apparently is not enforced. 
-You are told you can "grow" your career this appears to mean you will take on more work for the same title and same pay. 
-The environment is like being in high school instead of being part of a team. There was an admin that would walk behind my cube and peak over to see what I was doing and this is completely acceptable. 
-How well your liked determines what you can get away with. If I was 10 minutes late my manager would ping me but there were admin that would go to the gym at 10am or arrive anywhere between 9 and 11 then leave between 3 and 4. 
-There are no yearly reviews or bonuses. You are told you are a number and replaceable. Since you cost more then your bring in there is no effort to grow you. 
-Admin come in at a level 3 with no option to advance but level 4 and above have the option to have mentors, take advancement classes and be part of special projects. 
-They preach a lot of diversity and inclusion. There is an inclusion council but you have to be recommended by a current member then voted in. 85% of partners are white males. There used to be inclusion groups for cultures but it was too much of a hassle and they were dissolved.
-Your time is not respected. You are expected to be available at all hours of the day and night. If you point out that you entitled to off time as well your job description will be printed for you so you can review what your responsibilities are. 
-Managers are promoted at random and then not provided any training on how to manage others or how to lead so people will follow.
