Pros

You get a Big 4 Tag

Cons

1. Though its a Big 4, you will hardly feel like you are working in a Big 4. Its more bureaucratic than a government department 2. They treat their employees as resources only with no regard for their well being. Someone in the leadership once sent an email asking employees to meet their targets without worrying about COVID 3. They keep on advertising that they are the best workplace, but reality is very different on ground. Partners are rude and would go to any extent to make you feel bad 4. Forget about the work-life balance 5. They do not disclose full facts at the time of hiring. Once you join, they will hand you a list of restricted investments, which you will have to dispose within 5 days of joining. This is a very big list and frequent changes are made to it.

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.
