Pros

This is a great place to launch your career and forces you to learn an enormous amount right off the bat. The company is full of intelligent and motivated people.

Cons

It seems that some of the more interesting projects that are showcased during interviews disappear when you accept the offer. With the economy in shambles, it is easy to go unassigned and damage your utilization. Even after being assigned to a project, budget considerations can force you into a non-charge project with little or no notice.

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.
