Pros

Quite simply....the people ! The entire company seems to be staffed with very bright, enthusiastic people who all (well...most) have very high degrees of emotional intelligence. It's a challenging an rewarding place to work. The wide ranging disciplines can be really useful as well for those wishing to gain experience of multiple industry sectors. For some there is also an opportunity to travel - although this isn't all good news - it can mean long days travelling but you do get to see some interesing places, meet some fascinating people and experience new cultures and ways of working

Cons

The hours can be long...and you can be away from home for long periods of time. If you like your 9-5 job - then this isn't the company for you.

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.
