Pros

Big 4 experience has a lot of opportunities for travel (double edged sword). I got to see a lot of impressive places (US and international) and got to work on a lot of big name clients. You’re surrounded by a bunch of really smart motivated people.

Cons

The other side of the smart motivated people is that people take credit for others work, throwing co-workers ‘under the bus’ if the time/budget isn’t met. I had a real since that if I wasn’t the favorite of the manager I was working for I wasn’t going to have a strong advocate at the meetings to rank the staff (e.g. salary increase/bonus)

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.
