Pros

Training provided is second to none. People are genuinely nice and full of diversity. Provides endless learning opportunities especially for recent college graduates.

Cons

Pay is way, way too low for the amount of work. Internal transfer seems pretty hard unless you've performed above expectations for around 3 years. They don't like to be thought of as the "stepping stone" into finance/consulting etc and will not hesitate to let you go if they suspect that.

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.
