Pros

Big 4 brand and wide network.

Cons

Staff disillusioned by archaic leadership with no people management skills. Large staff turnover. Poor work life balance and abysmal pay for junior staff. Behaviour is a big issue amongst senior leaders, with a boys club mentality often portrayed at social events.

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.
