Pros

Lots of experience and exposure from the beginning. Management was somewhat willing to work with work/life balance. Good place to start.

Cons

Management should have been more understanding with life changes. There's an expectation that you'll put the firm first, and everything else second, not matter what the issue is. There's a lack of effective communication from management on performance, often times performance evaluation seemed to be based on how well liked you were, and not actual performance.

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.
