Pros

Great benefits and people are very nice. You get five weeks of vacation right off the bat! In my group, it usually not a problem to take the vacation as long as you put in on the calendar with enough notice so people can schedule accordingly. My performance manager is very candid and good about giving feedback. He's also great about making sure that I get the right experiences so that I can grown personally and professionally.

Cons

Scheduling on projects can be a bit erratic which may at times throw your social/personal life into upheaval. However, when coming into the industry you have to realize the nature of the beast you're getting yourself into. Client demands are a significant part of our business. Nonetheless, I usually find that I can make up the time when I'm in between projects or taking vacation.

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.
