Pros

Resume builder, fast-paced, exposure to a lot of areas if you’re lucky

Cons

Ridiculous hours (I was assigned minimum 80 hour weeks which translates to ~90-100 hours for 8 months straight). You are assigned a mentor who is supposed to advocate for you, which is a complete 50/50 chance on whether that will be the case. I felt undervalued and miserable. Low pay for what they expect of you.

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.
