Pros

It's a big 4 audit firm, so lots of learning support Only firm with CA classes to help you through CA Nice office location

Cons

Everyone I worked for hated their job and wanted a way to get out High turnover rate - felt extremely jealous every week reading about who was leaving and where they were going Very, very very boring work 'cookie-cutter' sort of progression - no one really get's promoted or recognised for being intelligent, or hard working Easy to brown-nose your way up to the top

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.
