Pros

Chance to work with some of the brightest talent around. Good pay, good benefits, some training. Big name and good experience on your resume when you leave. Projects are challenging and interesting. You will be busy.

Cons

Managers expect you to put in considerable overtime. You need to work on your primary project, and also do a considerable amount of relatively valueless training and other paperwork because the company is very worried about compliance. Deloitte is not as forward-thinking and high-tech as other large consulting companies. They lack good automation both on their client projects and internally. Their confusing and difficult to navigate website was a great example of that, during the time period I worked there. Finally, some decisions were very poorly thought out. As an example, an edict came down that no vacations could be over one or two consecutive weeks. Deloitte hires many Indians, and they typically bank several years of vacation time in order to take a long vacation in India. This decision was a poor way to treat valued employees, but this was the overall general attitude of the company in many things.

Pros

A big Microsoft shop, so they use the most current Microsodt development tools and operating systems. Good support for personal development and professional training. Good benefits package. Above average in number of vacation days.

Cons

Deloitte claims to have work life balance standards and family life understanding in place, but falls woefully short in practice. Expect to be shunned and have little to no career advancement if you try to take advantage of any work life balance programs. High burnout rate as senior management puts on pressure to work much more than the typical 40hr work week. Guess this is expected as most seinior managers have come out of the accounting practice where it is commonplace to work 50+hrs at times. Can expect to be asked to work on Saturdays at least a few times a year because project managers underestimate development time or they misrepresent project status to senior management.. The yearly review process is extreme and can take over two days to complete. Can be tough to get answers from senior management about high level direction, as these kind of questions must always wait to be answered at the next partners meeting. I've seen cases where one requirement that needed an answer held up product development for six months. No bonus plan. Yearly raises are given out on a curve and has a hard cap, even though HR and management say's otherwise.
