Pros

Great pay, benefits, and upward mobility. The company is definitely large and has a lot of opportunity for lateral and upward mobility. Very professional and takes a lot of interest in developing new young professionals into business people. A great place to begin a career and learn the ins and outs of the professional world.

Cons

Large time commitment (obviously), just part of the business. Also, audit work involves a lot of local travel. Very often did I not know what client i would be on until the Sunday before, but that really depends on how well the individual office is managed or who your manager is. Overall, it's a public accounting firm. Worklife is more or less the same as others.

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.
