Pros

Great opportunity to enter the world of consulting. Each office is pretty small so you should be able to meet everyone and learn a lot relatively quickly. It's a good place to be young, single and ready to feel important because you'll be getting lots of emails and working lots of hours. The reward is that as hard as they work, they will party equally hard. Lots of singles and lots of "grey zones."

Cons

Least mature of the big four. The methodologies are very make-shift so that you may not get the right lesson in "fundamentals."

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.
