Pros

Good benefits and high salary

Cons

Bonuses and advantadges are highly subjective, and in practice the friends of the partners will always make considerably more, no matter how incompetent they are. partners themselves are, with very few exceptions, quite incompetent, and they tend to have little groups based on nationality. If you're Belgian and went to the right university, you don't even need to be good.

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.
