Pros

- Good work / life balance for being in consulting in a well known firm - If you can identify the most valuable managers / senior managers and start work with them you'll be assigned to interesting projects with good opportunities to grow or to leave for a better position

Cons

- A good amount of my colleagues were poorly skilled / motivated - If you start working on a specific service / industry you risk to never see anything else, even when junior

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.
