Pros

Good reputation, good place to start your career. The firm name will give you the credibility to open doors at other firms and position you to apply and be admitted to top MBA programs in the country. Many people work at Deloitte until the senior consultant level before accepting cushy manager positions at competing firms. It's a great place to develop a strong basic level consulting acumen and the skillset to add value to your clients.

Cons

Popularity contest, no tangible benchmarks for promotion. The focus is on the people, but not developing the people. The focus is on meeting other people and winning favor in their eyes. This favor is not tied to whether a person is skilled or hard working, rather how many company happy hours have you planned or attended. In terms, of promotion a framework exists, but is loosely followed. You can meet at the merit criteria at the next level, but if you do not win the popularity contest you cannot be promoted.

Pros

The opportunities are really quite excellent. As someone who has recently graduated, you will rarely be able to get the kind of exposure to senior decision makers at some of the top companies in the marketplace. While your role on the team may be purely administrative and you will find yourself working 60-hour weeks regularly performing grunt work, the client exposure is tremendous. If you keep your ears and eyes open, you can certainly learn a great deal about the industry that your client is in. Deloitte is a good resume builder and it pays to start your career with this organization in order to benefit from the client exposure. Another benefit is that one will routinely get exposure to work that the client's staff prepare and this work is usually prepared and reviewed by fairly senior members of management (Controller, Manager of Financial Reporting, Sr. Financial Analyst). If one is a new grad, getting access this this work will enable one to learn how the client's organization operates and one will gain exposure and understanding that is usually possessed by those who are at least 3-4 years ahead in their careers. This is a great resume builder once again because one will be able to obtain more senior positions in industry companies (sometimes even client companies) because of the exposure that one had to the work product of the role they are applying for.

Cons

Non-existent work life balance and poor management. Promotions and not merit-based.

Pros

Opportunity to work with many different clients and do a large array of different projects. Deloitte has a good knowledge repository (though the search engine isn't good). It was good working with wide variety of people with diverse backgrounds. Usually the more junior the better as they are keen and haven't been thinned out for the corporate psychopath. Client work is usually challenging and you get to learn alot about the client, its industry and so on.

Cons

Lack of recognition, the company is more interested in who you associate with, what lip service is given to eminence and how you manage not to upset the heirarchy. I've worked with a number of partners who will not speak to a Manager because they are beneath them. Work / life balance is an issue and excessive travelling and flight delays are never taken into consideration into how much they upset you or your family.
