Pros

Opens many doors for future employment opportunities and a good group of people to work with. BIG 4 firm experience goes a long way when search for new jobs 5 years down the road.

Cons

The long hours during busy season are tiring and very stressful. Too little work-life balance makes it difficult to stay motivated

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.
