Pros

Good wage/ maternity benefits/ subsidised lunch

Cons

Long hours, not much atmosphere in the office (a lot of home working means that teams don’t seem to bond as much). As there do not seem to be many external hires everyone seems to have gone through a graduate ‘brainwashing’ scheme so everyone looks and thinks the same. Loads of book smart people who are good worker bees, but not much creative thinking/dynamism or passion.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
