Pros

The people you work with are very bright; looks great on your CV; very good experience and the work can be interesting.

Cons

Partners and directors have no respect for your work life balance. The hours are very long and you recieve very little if no recognition for your hard work. Compensation does not make up for the amount of weekends and evenings you are expected to sacrfice. There has been a mass exodus of people from the TS pratcice as a result of this over the past year.

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.
