Pros

All partners form their own kingdoms, play the game right and opportunities abound. Most of the work revolves around creating plans. Implementation is generally not favoured unless the fees are.correct.

Cons

Back the wrong horse and get sidelined. The partnership is made out of raising stars and wounded bears, pick your sponsor wisely. regardless of what the internal policies say, to move ahead you need to not only prove profitable but must also demonstrate that you have external options.

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.
