Pros

There are good people here, but they don't stay long

Cons

System allows bad actors to make it to the top, focus on revenue without adding client value isn't a winning proposition, turning a blind eye to legal and ethical violations will catch up with the firm, providing employee benefits on paper to make the "best places to work surveys" but having managers limit their actual use is a terrible practice

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.
