      Pros

      Every new engagement is a little different so that keeps things interesting

      Cons

      I often end up managing teams on projects that are ill-equipped to handle the requirements of the engagements. The firm is desperate to make sure all staff are completely utilized but that often means that they will stick people on projects that are not a good fit. That means directors and managers are left having to make a team of "spare parts" serviceable toward accomplishing the objectives of a project on which they don't belong. Very frustrating.

      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.
