Pros

There is a lot of downtime between cycles and the frequently occurring housefires. The cafeteria is really great and very reasonable. They frequently have seasonal specials. You can order pies at Thanksgiving, a Corned beef dinner for St Pats! Every new employee gets a laptop.

Cons

You have to be in your position for 2 years before you can be promoted.  2 years is too long for most of the associate positions - especially when the job has been marginalized to the point of following written procedures - no thinking or learning required! Systems are antiquated and need improvement. They need to invest in some serious improvements

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.
