Pros

Not much, salary on time that's all

Cons

Third class work quality, completely backend donkey work. Waste of education. Non transferable skillset, you'll not know anything about the real business world. Just got small well of audit, and that too only file preparation. It's a career killer and dream terminator

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.
