Pros

Sometimes the there are food scraps left in the staff kitchen from meetings and Partner breakfasts, which you can feast upon. Definitely some of my fondest memories from my time with this company.

Cons

Long hours, no work/life balance, unapproachable management, politics, very narrow career path for an engineer, boring and repetitive routine tasks. Evening and weekend work 6.5 days out of 7. You can feel yourself aging on a daily basis, and many of my co-workers looked 5 years older than they were.

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.
