Pros

Great people, good atmosphere. Opportunities for travel overseas. Flexible working and excellent work/life balance. There are great training opportunities, although you often need to seek these out for yourself, you won't necessarily be offered them. Depending on your team, there can be a great out of work social life with team members, including some senior management.

Cons

Can be too flexible - not enough time spent by management in the office to manage the teams so some team members can go off-task. The company is so large that there seem to be several groups doing closely related but different facets of the same tasks/projects; this can make communications complex and goals difficult to acheive.

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.
