      Pros

      You get to work at larger corporations and make connections.

      Cons

      The piramid scheme wants your to stay low as long as possible. Even by exceeding expectactions by 5x, you cannot expect quick progression. You do not get what you are worth. After founding my startup I made in the first year 5x more than at KPMG - this points that my value estimate of myself was spot on. Bonus nothing to do with your performance: "Year, you did an utmost fantastic job, but you are already the highest payed person at your grade in the whole contry, so we are going to be socially aware and give you the lowest possible bonus". Is this socialism??

      You will work a lot and have to take a lot on to move up.

      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.
