Pros

You just get the prestige of working at a Big4, nice on the resume. And that's what they use to suck you dry.

Cons

Salary, bonus, medical, 401K contribution match, hours (expect to work 16+ hours a day, even in June), ugly brown depressing office spaces, pretty much anything you can think of.

Pros

- Supportive, helpful co-workers - Co-workers are intelligent, competent, excited to be there - Interesting work - Culture encourages vacation/time-for-self - Company/teams constantly searching to better themselves, work more efficiently, etc. - Company infrastructure very solid - rarely concerns about equipment, travel plans, meeting set-up, etc.

Cons

- Your path is very much determined by your manager(s) perception. - Permanent seating in NY Office for Senior Associates and below is nonexistent - not a big deal for a few months, but begins to affect focus, ability to organize, and morale after a while. - Not necessarily easy to switch to different work-streams - Management often unable to understand the benefits individual members of a team bring to the team's overall performance, many instances of micromanagement. - Overall focus on efficiency can narrow vision. There is usually more than one way to solve a problem, complete a task, present a deliverable; but mgmt often gets stuck in "my way is the only way". - Competency can be expected in areas that were not originally communicated for one to be expected to be fluent in.

Pros

Great career starter. The people you work with.

Cons

Most of the managers have no idea what is going on during the audit. They will come in the week before sign off and tell you to change a million things you already brought to there attention before. Managers are more concerned about staying under their budget than ensuring the safety of their staff. No work life balance. If you are a commuter, good luck ever having time to yourself. Can get scheduled on a busy client for a full year while others only get the typical 1 or 2 busy clients. The explanation you’ll get is “it happens”.
