Pros

The main reason to work for that company is enhancing your resume. it looks good to future employers and you can find a far better job after working there for 2 years and obtaining your credentials. One learns a lot, overtime is sometimes better paid compared to other big four.

Cons

This is the most back stabbing environment I ever experienced. When you start as a new associate, you are treated with zero respect, swamped with menial tasks. Working hours are very long, work at the weekend is expected during busy season, so one does not have any time for hobbies or recreational activities.

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.
