Pros

Great career starter. The people you work with.

Cons

Most of the managers have no idea what is going on during the audit. They will come in the week before sign off and tell you to change a million things you already brought to there attention before. Managers are more concerned about staying under their budget than ensuring the safety of their staff. No work life balance. If you are a commuter, good luck ever having time to yourself. Can get scheduled on a busy client for a full year while others only get the typical 1 or 2 busy clients. The explanation you’ll get is “it happens”.

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.
