Pros

Good training, salary, vacation. In general, lots of very smart colleagues. Some good pockets, which is key to survival.

Cons

Poor team leadership is the norm in some areas. Duplicitious management must be part of the exec. Training program in some groups though not all. The backbiting is pretty vicious.

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.
