Pros

The technology is awsome such as the e work papers, online trainings, dual monitors, and etc. The annual firm wide training is a great learning and networking experience. You get to meet people from all different offices and people from different school. Chicago training was awsome. Nice new building.

Cons

The people there can be very clicky/high school like. Also, the promotions are often unfair and so that leads to having unqualified supervisors who throw their staff under the bus if something goes wrong. Unfair distribution of work. People tend to hoard work which leads to half the staff working long hours and the other half left twiddling their dumbs. CYA enviroment.

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.
