Pros

The company does have very decent benefits. They also give some modest but nice gifts - e.g., a welcome gift for new hires and an annual summer gift of food (Omaha Steaks meat or ice cream bars). They also shut down for about 10 days at the end of the year, which is great!

Cons

VERY white male. Very poor treatment and promotion of women. Not welcoming of minorities. No innovation whatsoever. No true desire or ability to move away from risk in favor of strategy or management consulting.

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.
