Pros

You will get exposed to various companies and industries through the course of various engagements that you will take on. This builds a good foundation, that allows you to diversify your industry options later on.

Cons

Good work is rewarded with more work. And not forgetting the ungodly hours that you are covertly expected to work, beyond the façade of working to improve work-life balance. E.g., when I left, I was working close to 100 hours per week.

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.
