      Pros

      Working for a big four firm provides valuable experiences as a result of a more complex and large scale client base.

      Cons

      The culture in the Philadelphia office is deplorable! The partners and senior managers in the Federal Tax group have created a toxic work environment with a sink-or-swim mentality. There is no team environment, instead the role you play feels more like piece meal or cubicle confinement with little or no teaching outside of the classroom CPE's.

      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.
