Pros

--Good benefits --24 days PTO --Looks great on resume --A lot of networking opportunities --If you're consistently good and very very...very patient, you will be rewarded for it. But meanwhile, your equivalents in other firms may be making %30-%40 more than you are, you'll have to be patient.

Cons

--Terrible pay --Degree of politics - it's tough to be noticed and persuade the management that you're up for the task. If you're an associate, you should "behave" like an associate, no matter how talented you may be. This will slow down your growth, this will decrease your exposure.

Pros

Excellent training, especially the 3-year ACA. It's also good to be surrounded by very intelligent people, but this will vary depending on your service line. Most of the people I work with got a First in Economics and almost all have a Masters or PhD in Economics. It can be very stimulating to have varied problems and always have to be thinking of new approaches to unusual issues. It's also relatively to move internally and internationally (although not as easy at this moment). I qualified in Audit then moved to Economic Consulting and so get to use my skills but don't have to go through the monotony of Audits. These are great for teaching financial skills, but I couldn't recommend it as a long-term career option - hence why I moved to a specialised area within Corporate Finance. It's also useful to have a Big 4 name on your CV rather than a smaller practice. The scope for larger, more complex and more interesting projects is therefore bigger at Deloitte than much of the competition.

Cons

At the bottom it can be very dull with relatively low pay, but this is compensated for via the ACA qualification which makes you very employable. As you progress, you get more control over work hours and which projects you work on, but I've been lucky and many people can end up with tough hours and repetitive work. There's also a huge amount of bureaucracy, as you'd expect in a large organisation. This can be a real bore and take up large amounts of time. Throughout much of the firm you're also expected to put your life on hold for work, but this largely depends on how good your managers/Partners are and how much they care - there's a lot of variety but most expect hard work and work life to be the absolute priority.

Pros

Good to get start if you are ambitious enough to place your career first. As an associate you are going to work in the front line and gain much knowledge not taught in your MBA texts. Have fun in the parties if you are a party guy/gal. Love travel? Come here.

Cons

Bad work-life balance. Opaque promotion and performance valuation criteria. Just opposite to the pros, if you do like party, if you don't like social, if you don't like travel, this is not the place for you. You need to be proactive and dynamic enough to be staffed. Take care of your business yourself, don't count on others.
