Pros

-Excellent transferable skills to industry -although some of senior management can be of low quality there are alot of senior managers that do a great overall job -open door policy

Cons

-long hours - Partners promise the moon to clients and expect staff to deliver -Partnership is what keeps employees working hard but most will not make it to partner and will be stuck with limited skill set to go to industry if very senior in the organization -Partner performance determines your promotions or bonus no matter how much you contribute to the practice

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.
