Pros

Big 4 status. Training and access to major clients

Cons

Political. No support for working women. Basically, they will assume that you will be calling in sick for your kid's sake and will purposely exclude you from key engagements. If you are not chargeable for a little while, then there is negative perception and your opportunities to get other engagements are lessened. You need to devote too much of your time in building relationships for advancement otherwise no-one would speak up for you.

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.
