Pros

Professional development is well supported. The workforce is young. Management have a high level of integrity. Opportunities to travel are extensive.

Cons

The internal bureaucracy is significant, especially driven by the compliance and independence constraints on audit firms in the current regulatory environment.

Pros

Structured job ladder. Lots of free booze. Peers are often your around your age. Trainings are fantastic. Good breadth of experience. Good opportunities to network, in and out of the firm.

Cons

Hard work doesn't always pay off. Lots of politics. Getting to know the partners is more than important than it should be. Pushes work life balance but doesn't always allow for it. Some projects are better than others, and staff have limited say in which projects they get. Too many administrative responsibilities on top of projects.

Pros

experience, money, benefits, travel. You get to experience a wide range of clients, industries and companies and life is rarely boring.

Cons

travel, cog in the machine, have to play the game to succeed. If you want to gain a few years of big 4 experience and then go elsewhere its a good place to work for a couple of years. Also, if you want to go down the partner track and rise through the ranks its easy enough. However, if you just want to be a strong performer and avoid the business development side and instead focus on the technical side you soon get lost in the mix and forgotten about. On the advisory side the firm is more of a large pyramid scheme where sales is definitely more important than the actual product but as long as the clients continually hire in order to show there stockholders that they are hiring the best then the game continues.
