Pros

In the Cororporate Finance divsion you get exposure to relevant deals since day 1 and you can meet soon in your career c-level clients. Even though the salary is below investment banking standards there is still a relevant bonus at the end of the year based in performance, and hours are a Little better than in IB.

Cons

Usually during the week you work at least until 10 pm and sometimes also past midnight. It can happen to work also during the entire weekend once every two months

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.
