Pros

Good brand that can boost your cv, especially if you are at the beginning of your career, but in the long term your skills will make the difference, so make sure you invest on them.

Cons

-Long hours, bad work life balance, managers expect you to stay in the office until late even if you have nothing to do, the compensation is ridicolous compared to the hours of work; -Some projects could be interesting at a high level perspective, but in the end your daily activities will be pretty much boring. Everything is focused on making the client happy, it does not matter how interesting or accurate your analyses are.

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.
