Pros

High performance culture, support from partners, not a backstabbing culture, huge clients, involves many soft skills (client interaction, presentation, attention to details etc) that are also transferrable, team events, recognition of excellence

Cons

Salaries are relatively low compared to other companies, too much internal procedures and bureaucracy that require tedious and manual work, work-life balance is not the top priority and the top employees tend to take too much on their plates

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.
