Pros

Very good culture. No gossip, no isolating people. Super respectful and inclusive environment. Very uncommon in Italy. Good work-life balance.

Cons

Some managers think they are CEOs and make you work crazy hours, but that's very variable depending on the manager / partner. Some are completely nuts. Salaries in the Italian firm are ridiculously low. You basically work there for charity.... You won't be able to sustain yourself for the first 6 years until you get to manager, and even then you will struggle if you live in Milan.

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.
