Pros

Deloitte provides great opportunities to see various companies and various industries through the different projects that are available. There are also a lot of resources available for all sorts needs, from fitness reimbursements and subsidies, to an expansive knowledge sharing network. Deloitte also offers a lot of leadership opportunities and opportunities for business and personal growth. Management also tries their best to let us know what the situation of the firm is through emails and voicemails and sometimes through local gatherings. The young professionals at Deloitte are impressive as they are very hard-working, ambitious and friendly people. There are also many perks associated with working for Deloitte, such as flexible working arrangements, where someone may be able to work part-time if necessary, great firm initiatives, such as the various diversity initiatives and travel perks, such as accumulating hotel points, airline miles and credit card points all on the company's dime.

Cons

Depending on the project and the management team on the project, there are times when you'll be working a lot of hours and doing tasks that aren't very exciting but need to be done, such as documentation. If the manager of the project doesn't plan very well or handle issues before they get too big, the staff are usually the ones who suffer the most, since the work still needs to be done and they are the ones who must deliver. Sometimes you'll also be stuck in a situation where the partner wants one thing, and the client wants another, and you need to satisfy both. Depending on the manager, you may also not get recognized for the hard work you put forth on the project. Most managers are good at keeping morale high but there are always the few who do not.

Pros

Of all the Big 4 accounting firms Deloitte has the best work life balance and the most committment to true diversity. Although in any job there will be people you will not want to work with I believe Deloitte has the best variety of people to choose from. Deloitte has a deep committment to learning within it's organization and if you are willing to work hard there is no limit to where your career can go. Flexibility is the name of the game. Deloitte's mentorship program is excellent with each new staff being paired with someone close to their own level as a "buddy" as well as a counselor who is generally a manager or above to help guide your career path and be a champion for you in the office.

Cons

The downsides to working at D&T are the same as working at any of the Big 4 accounting firms. They are public accounting firms. The hours during busy season are going to be terrible, but it's the nature of the beast. Also, becuase the industry is client driven things are seldom routine. Whereas in some other fields you have standard deadlines things change very rapidly in public. This can be both good and bad. Deloitte is notorious for promoting people who are technically competent but lack managerial skills. This would probably be the biggest downside to working there. Some of the managers are GREAT...others are not. Again, I would think this is true throughout the industry though.

Pros

To get CPA license is the only reason for people with higher education. There are plenty of educational tools which Deloitte recruiters may mention about, but most of them are not good enough compared top notch business school education.

Cons

Income disparity within the firm is pretty broad: you can see how people who spent ten years behave over-bossy and selfish while you are working like a machine
