Pros

Opportunities for development, career growth, and knowledge sharing. International rotation opportunities and 5 weeks vacation. Exposure to complex accounting issues.

Cons

Extended periods of out of town travel depending on your client assignments, long work hours/weekends during your client's busy season makes it difficult to have a work life balance, which may not be limited to Jan-April if you work in Audit. Current technology of audit is not efficient.

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.
