Pros

The compensation is good but not worth the nonsense you have to deal with..

Cons

Daily seat hoteling, yes you heard me correctly you have to book and reserve your work station daily. This is one of the biggest annoyance especially when it’s an open floor plan layout. Many distractions from some folks that don’t know the meaning of their “inside voice “. The office politics and water cooler jibber jabber makes for a toxic rumor mill full environment. They only hire contractors within so if you see a job posting on the job boards don’t waste your time because they are only posting to be compliant with the law. Backstabbing is in every corporate environment but commonplace here and be mindful of coworkers having daily meetings with your management without you. This day in age most companies recognize the advantages of working remote. Good luck doing that here due to old non relevant ways of thinking and extreme micro management.....

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.
