Pros

Deciding to go into accounting, I think KPMG or any of the other big 4 is the best place to be.

Cons

The pay is extremely low for someone of my level. Because of that, my future job search is limited in the amount of salary that the employer is willing to pay.

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.
