Pros

Friendly and pleasant working environment with very open communication. Very good work life balance. Partners in charge are very open and hierarchies are flat. Bonuses are fair but not explicitly high.

Cons

Poor pay, although it is fair as overtime is paid and one can choose to work more and improve salary. Very inflexible regarding promotions as the predefined career path is always followed, so be careful what entry level to choose.

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.
