Pros

Good place to gain industry experience. Other companies love hiring employees who have worked at a big 4 firm. Job safety. Ability to move throughout the company in different roles.

Cons

Very mediocre pay compared to the pay at a majority of other firms. You're just a number to the firm and they don't really care to retain you because they can just easily replace you with a cheap salaried college graduate. They will tell you whatever you want to hear to get the most work out of you but won't reward you for the work in the end. The inside of the New York office is extremely old and depressing with 0 sunlight. No work life balance due to the insanely long hours.

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.
