Pros

Lots of PTO (5 weeks) but with all the hours worked during busy season it evens out. Early leave on Fridays during the summer. Decent perks (i.e. summer outings, free gifts and food, yearly training in Orlando or other parts of the country, etc.) Some freedom to come in late or leave early and get up an go out for walks/coffee breaks. Work from home a few times a year. Locations all over the country and world so transfers are not so hard. Necessary to get good accounting jobs in the private world. Almost every place prefers Big 4 experience.

Cons

Busy season = no life. Really need to get your CPA to make it up the ladder. Too many administrative things need to be done in addition to your actual job.

Great place to learn!

Pros

- Best financial service practices compared to other Big 4. - Definitely a great place to learn for a fresh graduate accountant. - Good salaries compared to other big 4 (since overtime is included). - Work life balance is definitely better than the other big 4. - Got to meet some marvelously smart and exemplary Bosses with whom you learn more than just accounting and auditing. - As the slogan said "Cutting through complexity", the techniques applied for several industries is more straightforward and get to the point, with substantially less complexity compared to other big 4 (yes, I often compare our techniques with other big 4).

Cons

- The poorest medical benefit system compared to other big 4. - A lot of people there just can't mind their own business and love to talk about the others, mostly the people talked bad in the back, gave harsh comments, and laughed at juniors for their newbie mistakes which in most cases, those mistakes are actually acceptable. - Somehow it seems that even to the upper levels, personal feelings are still being considered as priority compared to the professional work ethics, which definitely slowing the works and trampling the professional concept.

Watch your back!

Pros

Good benefits and profit sharing.

Cons

New manger and team leaders are cut-throat. Make up lies to make themselves look good and you look bad. Worked there almost 10 years with great reviews. New manager comes in and I am told my work sucks. Watch your back and who you talk to. Be careful of what you say and try to stay on everyone's good side. You will be pushed out if you're not "liked" 10 years and one bad seed ruined my career with this Big 4.
