Pros

The name looks good on a Resume, and it is good work experience, so learn all you can while you are there.

Cons

No support or training, with 80 hour weeks there is no work-life balance, very high turnover. They give high expectations of a bonus, then give you nothing. Mgt is very disrespectful. They promise high vacation time, but resent any use of it, then complain when you have carry-over days.

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.
