Pros

Wonderful staff, flexible working hours, no micro management culture. Cance to travel if wanted. Ff your role involves technology you will get a chance to play with the latest and greatest tools. Training and benifits are good (better then most companies)

Cons

The senior directorship (IT) is out of touch with every day issues - There is a reorg every year. Little attention is given to internal investment. Waste (people and money) is part of the culture. Much needed projects are put on hold or cancelled in favor of projects to make certain people look good in there careers.

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.
