Pros

If you're young and want to grind hours to get a name on your resume, it's a decent place to do that.

Cons

Very political and bureaucratic. Promotion requirements are applied arbitrarily. Pay is below market. Firm thinks much more highly of itself than is warranted. They try to maintain a veneer of transparency but it's only for show.

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.
