Great way to start your career!
Pros: The best part about working at Deloitte in Tax is the training and education provided to new hires. They take the time to make sure you learn about the rules and regulations, although sometimes it can be hectic to manage training and the engagements you are on. Another great part is the culture. Most people are really friendly and outgoing and there are lots of young people that you can become friends with. The company also tends to be pretty flexible with personal time needed from what I have seen. They value smart people and if you prove your self you will be in demand.
Cons: The work life balance really depends on the tax group you join in and the clients you get on. Of course there will always be times when you will be working long hours and days when you get to take half the day off and go to happy hour with coworkers. However, you may get on a client that has so much work that needs to be done that you will be consistently working until late into the evening and/or weekends for months on end. Also, if you get on clients that have different due dates you may be having more than one busy season. For the number of hours you are working the pay is pretty low and tends to be pretty standardized.
