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.

Pros

Pros may vary depending on your manager and team. Unfortunately, my experience was consistently negative, and moving on to another opportunity was the right decision for me.

Cons

Extremely challenging and one of the most difficult professional experiences I have had. My experience was heavily influenced by leadership, communication, and workplace culture. I experienced communication that felt personal rather than constructive, and after raising concerns through the appropriate channels, I did not observe meaningful follow-up. I believe managers should be selected not only for technical expertise but also for leadership ability, emotional intelligence, and cultural awareness. Compensation also felt below market for the responsibilities expected.
