      Pros

      Name recognition Good thing to have on your resume

      Cons

      -There is no structure for promotion. If you bring in the money, you're in. If not, you're passed on. - I've been begging my manager to pull me off the project I'm on right now as it's not helping my career, but there is no one to take your side or stand up for you. - You will get promoted if you suck but know how to suck up to management. If you're a hard working individual and rely on your work to show your competence and desire to get promoted, you're out of luck.

      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.
