Pros

Corporate events are usually pretty fun and they allow open bars. Good for resume building if you want to jump into industry.

Cons

Work life balance is absolutely terrible. They have no issue changing your schedule as they like. When you work there you are basically property of the firm

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.
