Pros

Vacation days are generous during the holidays. Early career awards Many learning tools Smart colleagues Easy to network The brand name is good for your resume

Cons

They talk about diversity, but its mostly for a show. No Senior Associate, director or senior directors have a 50% diversity rate among them in Management Consulting. Promotion is scarce for people of color in their upper echelons 401k match minimal Work hours are alot, so make sure you negotiate the best salary you can upfront, as they are not known to give big increases or bonuses more than 7% for the hard work you do during the year and the hours spent. Depending on the team you join, it can be good or difficult for you. It seems the big 4 all spy on each other.

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.
