Pros

Very stable job, almost impossible to get fired If you are lucky you get to work with very young people (when you manage to be at the headquarter) Good name on the CV

Cons

After 3 months the work become repetitive and boring No place for any sort of creativity or personal opinion Too much hierarchy, almost impossible to change the type of work you do Business trips in isolated town of the milanese hinterland Terrible work-life balance, work overtime is considered normal and oviously is not paid (weekends included). If you go away at 18.00 you are considered a slacker Low salary in comparison with the competitors

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.
