Pros

If what you want is to be a consultant, this is the place to be! The exposure you get to the best companies in the industry and thus the knowledge and experience you get is unparalleled!

Cons

On the downside, the job of a consultant can be very demanding! Long hours and thus physical exhaustion is to be expected! Also, the inability to focus on any one service offering till you reach senior management level makes you the 'Jack-of-all-trades' as opposed to an expert in any one service. Also pay is low till you reach Management level.

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.
