Pros

In Audit or tax, opportunities for learning and development are seemingly endless and performance management is good

Cons

The advisory practice is struggling to find its footing in the market - management consulting in particular. There are too few partners to grow the business and the practice does not have a good track record of tactical execution of strategy. Partner/Principal behavior is at times unethical. Timely feedback on performance is practically nonexistent. Be prepared for surprises at year end.

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.
