Pros

Some people are really great to work with but they are few and far between. Others are still in the dark ages despite all the 'values' spouting

Cons

If you get a bad boss you might as well resign straight away. HR are only there to protect the firm - don't ever get mislead they may be helping you. And NEVER get ill - sure fire thing to get you performance managed out

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.
