Business outlook
Pros
They offer exposure to various industries. There is a great deal of prestige associated with a Big Four firm. They have a very strong and very ethical leadership team in the local office. They offer competitive salaries, benefits and a wonderful career springboard into industry. The audit training provides good project management, supervisory and critical thinking skills.
Cons
They are relatively rigid and risk management focused - justified by their line of business. They tend to be reactive rather than proactive, relative to developing their lines of business. They tend to operate in a fairly black and white zone.
