Pros

Prestige of working for a global brand. Opportunities to work with great organizations. Good benefits.

Cons

The best performers have to carry the weight of those that either cannot get an engagement, or cannot carry the work load due to lack of technical or people skills. The leadership allows it to happen. They ride on your coat tails as much as the non-performers. If you can get good engagements, and do the work, they will work you 7 days a week all year long.

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.
