Pros

Lots of resources and training offered; current technology; benefits; hours; and good people. Managers for the most part have been good and if you find one they can help guide your career but it's a huge company where you can be viewed as just a number, so it's up to you to find a mentor. Great if you've just graduated from college or grad school as you can move up but expect to work very hard, work long hours, and pay your dues. It was a solid company to work for with decent salary increases but after the recession, there were many layoffs and like every other company needed to make cuts. Good perks for employees such as sports outings, quarterly luncheons, etc.

Cons

You are just a number and expendable (but that's corporate America). Salary increases can be meager if you are in a department other than finance, tax, accounting, etc. There is always the employee or manager from hell that can ruin your experience or get in the way of climbing the corporate ladder. Some younger managers need to develop better leadership skills.

Pros

Big 4 company, good benefits, okay salary but no overtime, opportunity to meet/work with a variety of good people

Cons

Stuck on the same clients with no opportunities to move within the firm or experience different industries. Highly political. 80% of management leading engagements are arrogant but less competent than even the staff. Overtime with no pay.

Pros

Global resources, access to Global clients, employees have a broad range of skills, excellent training for younger personnel, significant improvements in recent years to develop junior personnel, opportunity to actively structure your career path, work is done in a cross disciplinary team environment, input from junior staff is welcome and encouraged

Cons

Promotions are too often based more on politics and who supports a candidate than actual acheivement/productivity. Women and cerrtain minorities tend to be advanced faster and with less qualifications/business case. Overly bureaucratic. Sometimes slow to react to changing market conditions. Experience lateral hires tend to struggle because of inadequate on boarding process and internal politics.
