Pros

Ability to get somewhat useful experiences on your CV, but only after suffering many mind numbing assignments and proving to be a work horse

Cons

- Partners don't care about you or your personal time/life; you are interchangeable to them and nothing more than a means for them to bill more hours and increase their own pay - Result is horrible hours and total disregard of your personal well being; regularly expected to work over or give up PTO; if you express any unwillingness to give all for the Firm you are either called lazy/uncoachable or met with or empty promises of future relief that never comes - Very high turnover due to the above

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.
