Pros

Most of the people have a very good concept of working together as a team to acomplish what seems like unrealistic expectations. Lots of little gifts and perks are given to employees throughout the year, along with many different programs. They also give a lot of vacation time, if you can find the time to use it.

Cons

Work/Life balance goes in spurts certain times of the year expect to dedicate nearly every waking hour to work. Long hours are expected and sometimes seem to go unappreciated. You have little say in what projects you get assigned to but management is pretty good about working around things like docters appointments.

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.
