Pros

Great career opportunities, very fast paced, great people. In general when you join Deloitte you notice that you will work with 23-35 year old type A personalities who are extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. The drive to succeed is the core of the organization, however, it’s not a cut throat competition - people are very down to earth, and at all career levels people are interested and willing to take the time to develop those at the lower career levels. Generally, a friendly and fun work place with a lot of opportunities, but not for the lazy and disinterested individuals. If you have a goal and willing to work for to make it happen, someone will help you get there - senior management that you work for directly generally has a genuine interest in helping you succeed. Deloitte also offers a lot of opportunities and flexibility in terms of career choices – once you are in, you can change your concentration, travel abroad, teach, work on developing new technologies, and do million other things- if anything, you will never be board at work, and that beats any other accounting job you will ever have – try to stay excited about doing month end close every month, or settling account recs, and writing the same accounting documents – not to knock on other professions – but big 4 and Deloitte generally gives you a lot more in terms of career choice and growth if translated at a rate per year of employment – and Deloitte difference is truly the people that you work with.

Cons

Unreasonably long hours… Best people work the most, and the work life balance thing becomes a far fetched dream - 5 months of 80 hour weeks is a lot to ask of anyone. Sometimes i think of Deloitte as Darwin’s lab - survival of the fittest is the best way to describe it. If you have guts to stick it out, the reward is there, and then Deloitte truly stands for “where the best chose to be,” because no wimp is going to be able to do this day in and day out with a smile.

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.
