Pros

Powerful brand Global network Well know even from small companies, entrepreneurs, etc Lots of responsibilities Small team, boutique spirit (despite the international brand behind)

Cons

Heavy procedures, in particular towards audit (conflict checks) Audit, and to a lesser extent Transaction Services, as core activities, are really more considered than M&A Weakness of after sale service due to the nature of the company : pure advisory firm, not a bank with asset management or fiscal specialist to help clients to deal with the proceed of their sale In the blue chip companie management's mind, an Audit firm, which implies not always invited to pitch or taken seriously Wages under market standards

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.
