Pros

Nothing much really. It is good to get a big brand name on your CV. Study leave is reasonable. The wages were okay.

Cons

Lots of bullying goes on, very little is done about it. Partners and Directors are cut-throat and ruthless, they will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. I couldn't stand this image Marketing and HR protrayed that we were all one big happy family.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
