Pros

Nothing that I can think of.

Cons

Extremely unprofessional people. A lot of politics and it’s all about who likes whom. Pays peanuts compared to the hours they make you work. Clients locations are in weird remote places. No work life balance. Busy season if 7 months i.e. you will work 45-50 hours for 7 straight months.

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.
