Pros

Great training if you want to be an accountant or tax advisor. Potential for international assignments.

Cons

You have to fight for all the training you need if you are not a wannabe accountant or tax advisor. If you work in technology, forget asking for a BA course, PRINCE2 or further software engineering training, the partners have no clue what you are talking about. You work stupidly crazy long hours and do not get any overtime paid back to you in the UK even though your counterparts in other locations get TOIL or paid overtime. You have to fight for an international secondment or any secondment and one person's decision could ruin all your efforts.

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.
