Pros

Decent hours Great benefits Treated well positive atmosphere Management is very understanding of taking personal time off Actively manage career progression lots of PTO

Cons

Work is dissatisfying and largely meaningless to the client. We are just cost, no tangible benefit. Because the client only hires us because they are required to or it helps them manage risk, the quality of our analysis is not as important as the quantity.

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.
