Pros

You will be working with very talented, skilled people who are great auditors / accountants.... The firm puts great effort into training for professional staff.

Cons

The job assessments after every assignment for auditor / professional staff are meaningless as they have fired people in the past whose reviews were great....... Although flexibility is raved about...... using too much of it can be of detriment to you.....

Pros

Not everyone will be your person, but the ones who are, you'll keep them for life. The intensity of the work forges real bonds. When you go through the grind together, those friendships/mentorship stick long after you've moved on. Same goes for upper management.

Cons

During busy season (approx Jan to April), 40 hours is a floor, not a ceiling, and that's pretty standard for firms of this type. On the consulting side, you're constantly juggling multiple clients with overlapping deadlines, so if time management isn't your strong suit, you'll feel it fast. Compensation is solidly middle-of-the-road; don't expect it to wow you.
