Pros

A great resume boost, some of the people are extremely bright. Wonderful training opportunities and more experience than you'd get most places right out of college.

Cons

The communication and messages from the leadership team. Salaries not keeping up with market rates anymore. Some people have trouble maintaining work/life balance.

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.
