Pros

- great people to work with, access to approachable senior team members who you can learn a lot from - access to opportunities that suited my ambitions - fast learning environment - no day is the same an i am constantly challenged - respected on my CV

Cons

- sometimes the hours are long considering the pay we get as trainees but this is offset with the experience and strength of your CV for future - big firm = fair amount of bureaucracy which can be frustrating but goes with the territory tbh - You have got to know what you want, why you want it, and make sure the right people know it. If you don't push for what you want you wont get it - simple. - No one cares about your career progression like you do so take responsibility for it, get on to the right jobs ASAP and build your reputation.

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.
