Pros

Good exposure to cutting edge work. The name evokes respect for future employers and hence can be definitely an added advantage to have on one's CV

Cons

Dealing with politics within workplace. Extremely poor work life balance. Lack of transparency in rating system dealing with employee benefits. If the team leader is poor, the entire team suffers for no fault of their own. Tendency to protect the senior people from justified criticism.

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.
