Pros

Great place to start a career. Helps you develop a strong technical background and good people management skills. Great group of people to work with. A lot of focus in the last several years on helping to establish a work life balance. High level of focus on training and personal development both at the local office and national level.

Cons

Unpredictibility in schedule due to client demands. Potential for longer hours. Very little praise when something goes better than anticiapated, but high level of criticism if things do not.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
