Pros

Excellent learning opportunities Transparency till the top management good packages and bonuses - best in the industry good recognition for good performers

Cons

no time at all for personal life no consideration to 'YOU'. If management asks it, 'You' have to do it. Forget all your priorities etc. If you deny doing anything, they'll reward you with a bad rating, bad appraisal invariably, you'll end up working from 8 AM to 11 PM no onsite opportunities

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.
