Pros

Big firm, many training opportunities, and mentorship opportunities as well. Though the firm is big, you have ample room to take ownership of projects. Very result oriented.

Cons

Work atmosphere can be dry, little camaraderie amongst employees and painfully hierarchical. Can be a struggle to get backup/help on projects.

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.
