Pros

Structured job ladder. Lots of free booze. Peers are often your around your age. Trainings are fantastic. Good breadth of experience. Good opportunities to network, in and out of the firm.

Cons

Hard work doesn't always pay off. Lots of politics. Getting to know the partners is more than important than it should be. Pushes work life balance but doesn't always allow for it. Some projects are better than others, and staff have limited say in which projects they get. Too many administrative responsibilities on top of projects.

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.
