Pros

Big four experience. If you are lucky you get to work with many different companies. Great experience in different industries.

Cons

Very clickish culture. Only recruite african americans to increase their minority share (saw this in an email) Don't believe a word they say. Watch your back as they will lie to your face and behind your back. Expect to work late hours.

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.
