Pros

Career advancement, brand-name clients and ample training. Opportunity to travel if you like it and good performance management system. For the most part, co-works are intelligent from top schools. Opportunities to cross-roles meaning you can work in IT but then maybe work in finance if you are up for it. Lots of social activities for those without families.

Cons

lack of work/life balance, partner promises too much and travel. Difficult place to work and raise a family. Compensation is on the lower-hand of the Big 4. Disparate systems for time keeping, training and other stuff - it would nice to have a portal for all onlie needs.

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
