Pros

Met some good friends along the way due to the nature of work that makes you see your colleagues more than your own family

Cons

Egoistic senior management who do not want to listen to the opinions of staff. Yes they do have breakfast session, on the account of having an open ground for feedback and people to voice their concerns. But most of the time these sessions result in nothing except for them trying to brainwash the staff that it’s ok to work overtime and there’s nothing they can do about it. Particular senior manager who thinks she is the best and does not have respect for others. Calls you during your vacation or sick leave, asking for you to do work. Shouts at you and humiliated you in front of the whole department with her shrill voice just because she does not understand something. She does not take into consideration the opinion of others and always feels she is right. So when you do things differently or work performed is not documented in the way she likes, you’ll be in deep deep trouble. She is also extremely bias, and only backs people she likes for promotion, for the rest of the staff if she doesn’t like you. She will never acknowledge the areas you have done well but focuses on your faults.

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
