Pros

People you work with are great, never had an issue with anyone. Everybody is always MORE than willing to help when you have a work related issue/problem.

Cons

You are on-site with the client 90% of the time. So work conditions vary immensely. Work hours are horrendous. You are expected to work 12+ hour shifts. Some nights can extend to 3-4 AM with little empathy from managers. Also don't expect a single dime for any overtime.

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.
