Pros

Great place to embark on career in accounting. Great support for professional qualifications. Good mix of people and management. Overall, a place where there are generally happy people.

Cons

Too few colleagues who are prepared to have a reasonable work-life balance. Also, travelling to clients can be a mission at times.

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.
