Pros

Looks great on the CV and the experience you glean from one of the big 4 is just incomparable.

Cons

Long hours, no support, no training, hot desking. Too much focus on "utilisation rates" to even say hello first thing in the morning. Ridiculous bonus - record profits for 2014 but only 2k for D grades? Hmm.

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.
