Pros

Great benefits, vacation pay, pension plans and company name to place on your resume

Cons

Long hours without overtime pay. Only tax professionals from administrative to managers would receive overtime pay. You have to be liked by management in order to be considered for promotion. They allow you to leave the firm in good standing and return at a higher level with higher pay. If you are terminated in good standing with severance pay, they allow you to return only if you are liked by management. The advertisements on work/life balance are falsified to recruit new employees from reputable colleges/universities.

Pros

Great opportunity to work in global organization. High-value brand adds "wow" factor to resume. There are some hidden gems and good mentors scattered throughout the organization.

Cons

Incredibly stressful and politically charged environment is often very distracting and demoralizing, particularly in recent years. While the firm attempts to adopt best practices such as People First, a good bit is window dressing and is neither embedded in, nor sustained, within the corporate culture. VERY inconsistent across country and area practices. The Fortune listing is worked by management, with those who are randomly tapped to provide feedback receiving calls from Management "urging" them to appreciate the importance of their comments in the process. A tad intimidating to say the least! Life-work balance receives a lot of attention, but at the end of the day it really is not incentivized.
