Pros

Happy moments when you get posted for oversea assignment.

Cons

They make you work like hell despite the staff is over-worked and health is impaired. The company don't treat you well. Partner only cares about their billing target and always hungry for business. There is a 2-year contract and a laptop scheme. In short, you are paying for the laptop for 3 years. Every staff has "billing target" so if I am given a files with a lot of mess and imagine the audit fee is low. It is hard for me to achieve that. My colleague will not help me if I don't share my audit fee with them. So what teamwork is there? Other colleague has their off peak, while I am still clearing the audit points. Plus we are treated like an admin staff. Plus not to mention that I have to clear so many rounds of review points - manager/Partner/QC partner. Partner can go on long holiday but when the staff clear leave, that Partner make noise! When my colleague left, they took 3 months to replace a staff. Luckily I moved on to big 4.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
