Pros

Deloitte will provides the opporotunity for people to grow within the field of accounting. They give you the flexibility for everyone to have a work life balance. Also, you are able to set your on times. If you want to come in late and stay late then that is ok or if you would rather come in early that is ok too. Upper management has confidence in you that you will get your work done and they wont stand over waiting for things to get completed. Deloitte Tax gives the opporotunity to work with clients directly even at an early position. Plus, there is always a happy hour going so its not all about hard work but Deloitte likes to have fun too.

Cons

Like any accounting firm, you are going to have to work a lot. Deloitte gives you plenty of vacation time so the time is there if you need, but during busy season it is busy. Deloitte has set goal hours that everyone has to meet weekly. I know in Houston is 55, but everyone is different. You wont get fired if you dont meet these hours, but they are simply a goal for everyone. Also, sometimes you are given last minute notice on an assignment, but that also goes along with working in a service industry. If the clients needs something Monday you have to get it to them on Monday. But, other then that I have enjoyed my time working with Deloitte and I believe the downsides are the things we take on with having a job.

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.
