Pros

remote working (but this can also be a con) great team of advisors

Cons

Work life balance is very poor, even though the role can be conducted remotely - which says a lot. The immediate hr advisory team are great, however for the low pay (which really does not keep up with cost of living), workload and lack of recognition - i'd highly recommend joining a smaller firm or a different Big 4 company, because the lack of support, recognition and lack of genuine thanks for the hard work the hr advisory team put in will affect your mental health. In this role and company, you are squeezed and squeezed until you cannot be squeezed anymore.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
