Pros

A good place to start your career. It offers a chance to see many different companies, in different industries. It's also good to have the brand name on your resume. You'll learn a lot about how to work with people through your job here. The vacation days are great: 25 days a year - that's hard to beat anywhere!

Cons

Sometime, office politic can be bothersome. The review process can be subjective as well. Also be aware that consulting schedule is unpredictable: long hours and high pressure on some days, normal and relax atmosphere on other days. The biggest downsides is that in certain group, staffs are not challenged enough.

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
