Pros

Its a great place to start your career and get your Chartered accountancy/ ACCA/CPA.. Nothing else...

Cons

Unhelpful fellow co-workers, cliquey atmosphere, impossible to take leave, stifling conservative culture, endless hours, many of whice are just face time, a claims system that is purposely so hard to use, poor middle management and tyrannical partners, ridiculously low pay for the number of hours. You will be a slave for the time you are here. Get your 2 years experience then get out

Pros

Looks great on a resume, and provides great, on-the-job experience in the accounting industry. Combination of training, exposure, and growth is unrivaled in the accounting industry. When applying for jobs outside the firm, you receive instant recognition.

Cons

Long hours. Minimal to no compensation for working these long hours. Though busy season is advertised as three months in the winter, should you be placed on a public client, or client with a 6/30 or 9/30 year end, expect additional work load comprable to the winter busy season. From a staff's perspective, the hourly grind even appears to increase as you rise in the ranks.
