Pros

A fine company to work for. You need to have a voice otherwise you will not get the opportunities required to progress.

Cons

General salary is very poor compared to industry. You are given progression bonuses but these should be called 'retention' bonuses instead. If you leave within a 2 year period of leaving, you are required to pay it back so beware!

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.
