Pros

For graduates, it is a solid program - as typically people of similar age [18-25] come through the ranks & support each other with endeavors such as completing the CA program. The firm provides plenty of in house training making it easy for employees who have the initiative to enhance their skills.

Cons

Because it is such a large firm, it is easy for a lack of recognition to occur. The usual office politics are expected of a large corporation - but the main sticking point is it affects reviews. If the employee believes in a meritocracy, they will be gravely disappointed with the process. Any ranking that suggests you are above average needs to be explained and signed off by the top brass, making it rare to obtain such performance ratings.

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.
