Pros

- 25 days of PTO when you start (as long as you can find time to use it) - Challenging tasks from day one - Exposure to a wide variety of areas of a business

Cons

- Long hours - No sense of appreciation for the work that is done - Communication from senior management lacking - Technology is a bit lacking (although hopefully improving soon with new electronic work paper tool rolling out) - Very top heavy (e.g. long term career advancement does not look good)

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.
