Pros

-Big Four Prestige (at least to other accountants, regular people don't care or even know about Big Four firms) -Career Accelerator (1 year Big 4 = 1.5 years at a mid-sized firm) (1 yr Big four = 3-5 years regular acct experience) -Co-Workers are mostly at your age/point in life -Everyone you work with graduated at the top of their class, are very inteligent, and very hard workers.

Cons

-Ridiculous hours are expected, not rewarded (50 hr week is the MINIMUM year-round, but I've worked past 80hrs a week several times) -You get 4 weeks vacation, but management tells you when to take it (5 days a year are mandatory Vacation days) -If your manager can't find any work for you, he'll "suggest" you to take your vacation days, this would be ok if told in advance, but they'll tell you as late as Saturday that you should "consider" taking off for the next week -It is nearly impossible to shine, everyone is expected to work 110% and do
