Pros

1. You get to say you worked in IT at a Big Four, until people ask how it was and you awkwardly smile to hide the trauma. 2. The brand name still carries some weight on your CV. 3. Some colleagues are talented and supportive, it is a shame that they are all trying to leave. 4. Fast-paced environment that teaches you how to work under pressure and under watchful eyes.

Cons

1. Suggestions for improvement are welcomed in theory, ignored in practice. Raising concerns gets you labeled 'not aligned' - which is a polite way of saying 'stop asking questions' 2. Professional growth opportunities exists, but in reality, the progression depends more on politics than performance. 3. 'Trust' is a word thrown around a lot, though the working environment says otherwise. 4. Focus tends to lean more on control than collaboration, which limits team morale and innovation.

Pros

Good learning environment, the teams help support your development when you're new, and they take you under their wing to succeed in your role.

Cons

It is a grind, work-life balance can become nonexistent, and it can be draining.

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.
