Pros

nice building if in London, some nice departments.

Cons

Lunch allowance doesnt really buy enough for lunch, too many processes, bullying in some departments, excellent employees leave quickly due to lack of progression and recognition, getting your laptop rebuilt can take days, the IT staff need training as the ones with skills quickly move on as they dont get recognised or they get singled out. If you are qualified they don't recognise a lot of the qualifications you might already have or experience they require you to have the qualifications that they perceive as being worthwhile which are usually quite basic.

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.
