Pros

Competitive salary for short term gains.

Cons

Unqualified managers with little to no technical experience. Lots of fluffy words are thrown around with no meaning. No and I mean absolutely no belief or value associated to building culture. Politics are worse than at the capital. Emails are used as daggers and your colleagues are dog eat dog where competition to scale the ladder is fierce and less experienced managers will take the bait to promote those who are skilled at throwing others under the bus.

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.
